pictures and mainmenu

[Naim Rizk]

when u add a MainMenu and an InputPanel on a form, a picture of a
keyboard is displayed on the extreme right of the menu.
I want to do something similar. I want to display a little picture on
the menu next to the keyboard picture, and this picture will do
something when the user click it.
can i do that ? and how ?

thx
NAIM

Add a ToolBar to your form, on Pocket PC the toolbar buttons are placed to
the right of MainMenu items.

hi peter,
well you are really an mvp, replying on a sunday
thx, i'll try it.

but one question now, since the built in keybord is on a toolbar (as i
understood from ur reply) , why do i have to add a mainmenu on the form
so that the keyboard appears ?
(i read that in the quickstart tutorial)

thx
NAIM

Yes you need a MainMenu for the SIP icon to appear. You can create a
MainMenu with no menus and you'll just get an empty grey bar (with the SIP
button to the right)

By design. It is how it's implemented in Compact Framework

well yes, although it seemed to me a little strange
