Is it possible to build a custom dialog box that will pop-up and show status
in my Pocket PC app and only take up a small part of the center of the
screen?

I'm using VB .NET 2003. I don't know how to build a form that doesn't take
up the whole screen.
 
Mike,
I had the same concerns and wanted alot of control over what the
popup looked like and where it was placed as my app runs in landscape
orientation. So I rolled my own popup from a panel control. I skin the
control with some pictures from embedded resources, including pictures that
look like buttons. The two (maybe more) drawbacks were: 1.) that the panel
control had to exist in the form that had the current focus 2.) More time
to create. My need was for a dialog style box that would wait for input via
the clicking of a button in the dialog. Hope this helps.

Dave
