Disable Start Menu
|
From: Brett Ryan Brett on 4 Feb 2007 21:54 I'm wondering how to disable the start menu on the Pocket PC, this used to be done through setting the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell] "DisableCtrlEsc"=dword:00000001 Though does not seem to work in Windows Mobile 5.0 Is there a way to do this programmatically?
From: Fabien on 5 Feb 2007 03:36 Hi, If you want to disable the taskbar and the start menu, you can dos this in C# : [DllImport("coredll.dll")] private static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName); [DllImport("coredll.dll")] private static extern IntPtr ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int visible); ShowWindow(FindWindow("HHTaskBar", null), 0); //0=hide, 1=show BR Fabien Decret Windows Embedded Consultant ADENEO (ADESET) http://www.adeneo.adetelgroup.com/ On 5 fév, 03:54, Brett Ryan <Brett R...(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > I'm wondering how to disable the start menu on the Pocket PC, this used to be > done through setting the registry key > > [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell] > "DisableCtrlEsc"=dword:00000001 > > Though does not seem to work in Windows Mobile 5.0 > > Is there a way to do this programmatically?
From: The PocketTV Team on 6 Feb 2007 21:09 this mere hides the navbar, it does not disable it. some applications, if they get activated for whatever reason, may cause the navbar to re-appear (typically applications like video players that have a fullscreen mode will do that when they exit the fullscreen mode). the correct way to really disable the navbar is to use a kiok application. -t "Fabien" <fab_00_2002(a)msn.com> wrote in message news:1170664592.612870.223550(a)m58g2000cwm.googlegroups.com...

From: Brett Ryan on 16 Feb 2007 21:57 So how would I go about disabling this in code, by potentially creating a kiosk application. We are using an FSA application based on the Dexterra environment, we wish to restrict the device to only use this software.

And a very effect, not very correct way is to hide it: HWND hTaskBar = ::FindWindow( _T( "HHTaskBar" ), NULL ); if (hTaskBar != NULL) { ::ShowWindow( hTaskBar, SW_HIDE ) } But make sure you unhide the taskbar when your program is done. > >-t > > >"Fabien" <fab_00_2002(a)msn.com> wrote in message >news:1170664592.612870.223550(a)m58g2000cwm.googlegroups.com... >Hi, > >If you want to disable the taskbar and the start menu, you can dos >this in C# : >[DllImport("coredll.dll")] >private static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string >lpWindowName); > >[DllImport("coredll.dll")] >private static extern IntPtr ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int visible); > >ShowWindow(FindWindow("HHTaskBar", null), 0); //0=hide, 1=show >BR > > >Fabien Decret >Windows Embedded Consultant > > >ADENEO (ADESET) >http://www.adeneo.adetelgroup.com/ > > > > > > >On 5 f�v, 03:54, Brett Ryan <Brett R...(a)discussions.microsoft.com> >wrote: >> I'm wondering how to disable the start menu on the Pocket PC, this used to >> be >> done through setting the registry key >> >> [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell] >> "DisableCtrlEsc"=dword:00000001 >> >> Though does not seem to work in Windows Mobile 5.0 >> >> Is there a way to do this programmatically? > > ----------------------------------------- To reply to me, remove the underscores (_) from my email address (and please indicate which newsgroup and message).
