When a form is shown it hides other forms.
that's a real problem for me.
I try to have dialog panel (borderless & resized window)
but when they show up they hide the main window, which is very confusing.

any work around ?
 
I'm not sure what you mean.

However my guess is that you advice me to have my popup window not being a
Form but being a Control whose Parent would be the top most Form.
is that right ?

That won't work, in fact I already have such a panel system but now, with
the help of the OpenNetCF's ApplicationEx class I wanted to make my dialog
box modal, by culling out any event not targeting my window.

1st: my dialog was in fact a control child of the form and I culled out any
event not targetting the control or one of its children, but I then had a
problem with combobox and such control popping up a small panel.

so I though I should make my dialog a Form again and cull all event
targeting a given window (and let all the other pass through) but that fail
as if I show my dialog it hide the other form (I mean it's a borderless
small window, but the main window get miniaturized anyway)
so it didn't work either.

any other idea ?
 
In order to be able to resize and a form on Pocket PC, you need to set the
Form.FormBorderStyle property of the form to None.

Thank you,
Sergiy.
