Hello,

as an event when clicking on an entry in a listbox I need to open a new
form with a specified size and without a border (no ok-button) so that I
still can see some rows of my listbox in the background.

How can I resize a form so that on a Pocket PC it doesn't automatically
use the whole screen? It seems that the properties location and size
don't work...

I don't know if it makes a difference but I work with the compact framework.

Thanks for your help!

This is by-design for the PPC platform. There are, however, ways to
workaround this.

Because you indicated that you are a newbie, and for FYI, you can do a
search in the google archives of the compact framework newsgroup here:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework

And the actual newsgroup in which you probably want to post questions in the
future is:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework
