Disappearing Inputpanel

Hello,

My problem is:

After Messagebox.Show() System.WindowsCe.Forms.InputPanel has gone, it can be back only on new instance of Form, I use .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and ToolBar with image buttons near inputpanel. It happens on HP Ipaq hx2400 with Windows Mobile 5.0, it doesn't happen on Asus MyPal N636, Fujitsu Siemens N560, Dell Axim, HP 3715. I havn't tested more.

Please help me if anyone met this problem

Michal

    Is this really Compact Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 you are running on the device

    I had the same problem. There is a really simple but stupid fix for this. After each MessageBox.Show() you can reset the form's menu For example:

    this.Menu = mainMenu1;

    I tried developing with CF 2 SP 1 but found this stupid problem so annoying that I refuse to even use CF 2 SP 1 until Microsoft stops screwing around and fixes it. I just stick with the original CF 2.

    I'm in the process of looking into this issue. It seems like it comes and goes and only happens sometimes on some devices (as far as I can tell, it happens under both V2 and V2 SP1, but I'd be curious to know which you're running). You can find some more information over in this forum topic:

    In the meantime, Jarod has kindly provided a workaround.
