Hi,

I have a windows application in C# running on Windows CE 6.0. I don't want
my application to be movable, resizeable or minimized. I just want it to be
static on the screen. How do I do it?
 
I think the route I'd try is to write an IMessageFilter and attach it to the
Form. That way you could throw away all requests to move, size or change
state.

The Smart Device Framework[1] provides a CF implementation of Application
that allows adding filters[2], and we have a sample (though not specifically
for this) on using an IMessageFilter to catch events[3].

Wouldn't you know it.. That's the only sample we've done in VB - everything
else has been in C# - and we've gottne complaints from the VB guys. Let me
see if I can create a C# sample for you.

try this (yuo must translate to C#)

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)
Const WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN As Integer = 161
'Const WM_SYSCOMMAND = 274
Const HTCAPTION As Integer = 2
Const SC_MOVE As Integer = 61456

'If (m.Msg = WM_SYSCOMMAND) And (m.WParam.ToInt32() = SC_MOVE)
Then
' Return
'End If

If (m.Msg = WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN) And (m.WParam.ToInt32() =
HTCAPTION) Then
Return
End If

If (m.WParam.ToInt32() = SC_MOVE) Then
Return
End If

MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Sub
