Hi, massim
I found this code posted to the newsgroups in August. It looks to be exactly what you need
-- Begin Code -
// SHFullScreenHelper.c
// Posted by Jim Wilson on microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframewor

using System
using System.Runtime.InteropServices
using System.Windows.Forms
using System.Text
namespace TestAp
/// <summary
/// Provides an interface to hide and show the SIP, SIP button, and the Start button
/// </summary
public class SHFullScreenHelpe
private const Int32 SHFS_SHOWSIPBUTTON = 0x0004
private const Int32 SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON = 0x0008
private const Int32 SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON = 0x0010
private const Int32 SHFS_HIDESTARTICON = 0x0020
private const string formWindowClassName = "#NETCF_AGL_BASE_"
[DllImport("aygshell.dll")
private static extern Int32 SHFullScreen(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 dwState)
[DllImport("coredll.dll")
private static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string className, string windowName)
[DllImport("coredll.dll")
private static extern Int32 GetClassName(IntPtr hWnd, StringBuilder className, int maxCount)
public static bool ShowStartIcon(Form f, bool bShow
Int32 dwFlag = bShow ? SHFS_SHOWSTARTICON : SHFS_HIDESTARTICON
return SHFullScreen(GetWindowHandle(f), dwFlag) != 0
public static bool ShowSIPButton(Form f, bool bShow
Int32 dwFlag = bShow ? SHFS_SHOWSIPBUTTON : SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON
return SHFullScreen(GetWindowHandle(f), dwFlag) != 0
private static IntPtr GetWindowHandle(Form f
return FindWindow(formWindowClassName, f.Text)
}
-- End Code -
To use it, just create a class file and drop in the code. Then, call the function as follows
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowSIPButton(this, false); //This hides the SIP button (C#
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowSIPButton(this, true); //This displays the SIP button (C#
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowSIPButton(Me, False) 'This hides the SIP button (VB
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowSIPButton(Me, True) 'This shows the SIP button (VB
You can also show and hide the Start menu button as follows
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowStartButton(this, false); //This hides the Start butto
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowStartButton(this, true); //This shows the Start butto
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowStartButton(Me, False) 'This hides the Start button (VB
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowStartButton(Me, True) 'This shows the Start button (VB
Hope this helps =

Dim hWnd As IntPtr = FindWindow(Nothing, "frmToto"
RC = SHFullScreen(hWnd, SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON
The "SHFullScreen" return True, but my SIP button is still visible
What is wrong in my code
my API declaration
Public Declare Function SHFullScreen Lib "aygshell" (ByVal hwndRequester A
IntPtr, ByVal dwState As Integer) As Boolea
Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "Coredll" Alias "FindWindowW" (ByVa
