modal and modeless forms

[Vishal Garg]

Hi,
I have following questions regarding modal and modeless
forms in .NET CF.

1. How do we create modal and modeless forms?
2. What are the differences between PPC forms and
WinCE.NET forms behaviour?
3. Can we resize forms in PPC and WinCE.NET?
4. Any pointers or links for understanding forms in .NET
CF?

Regards,
Vishal.

Yes, Call either Form.Show (for Modeless forms) and ShowDialog to make them
modal. 2) Not sure
3) PPC yes, definitely just change the border style of the form and shrink
it as you wish. However I don't believe you can make it any larger.

Thanks for the inputs.
Few more points:-
1.How to resize forms in PPC? They always appear as full
screen?
2.How to shut down the modal forms application gracefully
through system menu of PPC? Can we do this using C#?

Regards,
Vishal.

Vishal,

Full screen is the standard for PPC dialogs, but if you change the border
style to None you can make the form whatever size you want. From the FAQ:

You can close a modal dialog by calling its Close method.
