Hi,

I have written an kiosk mode application for my WinCE device.
After I had problems with threads and GUI, I installed SP3 and this solved
the problems I had.
Unfortunately I have now a new problem: The kiosk mode now is not working,
startbar does not disappear.

I've done the kioskemode with an example from "Sergey Bogdanov", topic
"Kiosk Mode withou aygshell.dll"

Can anyone help me please?

Well, it was tested against SP3. Where do you call Start()? And can you
reproduce this problem on the test application which comes with CEKiosk
sample? As I see through the code you are slightly modify sample - maybe
this causes the problem.
 
Hello Sergey!

I've tested your samplecode and it works great with SP3!
The problem was, I've called the Kiosk in constructor of the form. In SP2
this worked without any problems.
Calling Kiosk at "Form_Load" event solved the problem!

Thank you very much!

Regards, Stefan
