Using VB 2005 for Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC, .NET CF 2.0

When I drop a WebBrowser on a form and set the url, the loaded page
works normally. If I put a panel on the form and then put the
WebBrowser on the panel, the web page loads ok but none of the links on
the page work. Why is that?

Also, a context menu pops up when the stylus is held down on the
WebBrowser. Is there anyway to disable that?
 
Both of these are known issues.

The hyperlink one has been fixed in Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU 2 (AKUs are
essentially OS updates that we give to OEMs) so it won't be present on
devices that come out later next year.

Disabling the context menu is on our "things to look into" list for the next
major release. The somewhat good news is that native HTML Control (which is
different from the WebBrowser control) doesn't have this problem. If you
can find a .NET CF wrapper around this (I think OpenNETCF might have one..?)
then disabling the context menu should be possible.
