Is it possible to avoid the smart minimize on PPC? I am using a full
screen shell with default style and I do not want the shell to hide
(minimize) when clicking the smart minimize 'X' on the top right corner.
Is there a way to avoid the minimize button showing OR is there a way to
intercept the shell iconified event and stop it from happening? (I
actually tried setting doit=false in the event listener of
shellIconified() but it did not work for me.)

Hi Scott,

No. The top window of a Pocket PC app is expected to either have the smart
minimize (default style in SWT) or the Ok Button (SWT.CLOSE style). You
can block the Ok button action by setting doit false when receiving the
SWT.Close notification. But the smart minimize itself is managed by the OS
and it simply pushes back the application behind all other ones.

What is your app for? Why can't you let the user switch to a different
one? The user will still be able to use the task list anyway.

Hi Chris

Tha app is a delivery application used by our 500+ delivery drivers. The
drivers are completely computer illiterate. There is no way they are going
to find the task list let alone know what to do if they do manage to get
there. Our app is the only app they will use on this device (Symbol
9034s). (In fact we have a piece of software that allows us to specify
what apps they can and canno use on the device).

So setting "doit = false" only works to thwart the close event? It does
not work to thwart the iconified event?

Correct. That's the way Microsoft PDA apps are supposed to work.
