I wanted to be able to sort out PocketPC from the other WindowsCE devices.
For that I used the code below
and tested if the PlaftormName was equal to "PocketPC" I had some problem
and test it includes "PocketPC" but I wonder if I could stay there or if I
should go further.


on another thought, my main goal is to find if the Form are fullscreen by
default.
Any simple way of testing that ?
 
To display full screen I do the following :
- WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
- Menu = null;
- Controls.Remove(MyToolbar);
- FullScreen = true; (field of my class)

So afterwards, I can check if my window is full screen or not.
Hope this helps.
 
sorry I mean.
on windows, a windowas ahas a size, and that's it.
on CF they have a fixed size maximized (except the borderless ones).

is there a way to know if, on a given CE device (the one the app is running)
the window would be nly maximized or could be resized moved ?

(mmhh... I could try to change the location of an invisible window, and see
what happened ? let's try...)

Well System.Environment.OSVersion will help you figure out what kind of
device you are running on, I think.
 
Use GetWindowLong to get the window's style bits. That'll tell you
everything about it.

yep.
but the fact is not all WindowsCE devices behave like that ....
(I mean have fixed maximum size window)
