ShowInTaskbar

[oregonduckman]

Does anyone know if there is a version of the Compact Framework that supports
the form property ShowInTaskbar. The docs say it is supported in 2.0 but all
I get is a compiler error when trying to use it... And it does not show up in
the property page for a Form in Visual Studio.

The docs say it's *not* supported:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form_members.aspx

Note the lack of a device icon.

For how you can do it, see this blog:

Note the postscript.

Cool, thanks for the tip. BTW, my version of the docs say its supported in CF
2.0 (these are the docs that were installed with Platform Builder for CE 5).

Cheers...

My advice is to use MSDN docs, always.
