Form like MessageBox

[AxelS]

Hi folks,

I need a form like a message box. But every form I create
is shown full screen and ignores the size I set. But I like that
the second form overlays my main form and waits for one
input line. Any suggestions ?!

Thanks in advance and best regards
Axel

The Compact Framework doesn't support this type of dialog box. Many
people have tried various hacks to get it to work, but the bottom line
is to use a modal form instead of an overlapping windows. If you really
must have an overlapping window, you'll have to write some C++ code in a
DLL to create your functionality.
