Forms in Compact Framework

[David]

Hello.
I have some questions about forms in Compact Framework :

I have two forms in my device application, one main form and second login
form, the second form contains some textboxes for input text information.
When I want show my second form from my main form I call ShowDialog method
of second form, it shows the form on screen but it also hides the PPC
keyboard and it hides the little key on bottom right corner of PPC screen
too (the key of show/hide PPC keyboard), but I don't want to hide keyboard
button when I show my second form, how can I solve this problem?

Also I have one more question.
When I show second form from my main form in has "OK" icon on top right
comer, how can I make it show "X" icon on top right comer?

Add a MenuBar to your second form, you don't need to add any items to it but
this will enable the grey toolbar at the bottom of the screen including the
SIP (Soft Input Panel) button.

The Ok button is shown whenever you launch a form with ShowDialog or when
the MinimizeBox property is set to false. With a dialog box called with
Show() the X button will not close the form but will minimize it - so it
will still be running in the background.
