Hi, i'm using PRINTCE.DLL to print to a mobile printer (building for
POCKETPC2003)

the problem is that all my windows are maximaized inorder to prevent
the user from clicking the start key..
But when the dll is running (printing in progress) it shows a message
box with the status of the printer, and then the start button appears
(no maximize...)

How can i prevent this from occuring ? please advise, it's top
important to me,
I cannot allow the user to see the start button.

(maybe play with the focus somehow?)
 
If there's no API in the external DLL to accomplish that, I can't think of a
way that you can just make it happen. I suppose that your message loop
could refuse to create the dialog (return the 'failed' result from WM_CREATE
handling, rather than whatever the window returned or something). I'd
contact the vendor of the DLL...
