Felix,

The MSDN sample that shows how to implement a splash screen
gives you the backround in threading and callbacks you need to
display a wait form. Find it here:

Forms are maximized by default on PPC, but if you want to create and show
one
less than the full screen size, set the form's border style to
FormBorderStyle = none
and adjust the height and width in forms designer.

Hi,

In the sequence of this post, I'm trying to get some help about create a
form with diferent size.
I set the border style to none. ok, the problem now is that the form
don't have a caption and I can't move it.

To explain better, when we develop some mobile solution, and start it in
the emulator, a coupe of windows appear, with a progress bar, and show
us an instalation taking place. that form has a caption and I can move
it around the screen. That's what I want.

Thanx, Ricardo Veloso
 
Ricardo,

You can do what you're describing on Windows CE but not on PPC
with the Compact Framework.
