Making the PocketPC Today Screen (.NET) transparent

[ng]

Hi all,

I have the Today Screen .NET [
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/TodayScrn.asp
] Wizard/Plugin working great ( took me some time to get it working
though).

But now I am wondering if one can make the Today component transparent
like all other Today Screen items?

I am guessing that the underlying eVC project would need to be tweaked
- but does anyone have any ideas, tips or thoughts on this?

Regards,
Alistair.

i havn't read/tried this work-around because i don't like to install the
eVC++ stuff (do i just need ONE SINGLE C++ wrapper which i can use then for
every of my plugins?)

But: is it true, that the C++ wrapper just calls your .Net application and
show it on the screen?
Do your .Net application has a Form?

If so: try to overwrite the OnPaint and/or OnPaintBackground events to
avoid .Net painting your forms background.
