Hi,

I was able to add a notification control to my .net compact 2.0 pocket
pc application. But i'm confused as to how to remove it. There is only
a "hide" soft key button, but that still leaves the notification icon
on the top title bar. I found a method called SHNotificationRemove,
but this is an unmanaged code method. Are there any ways to get rid of
these notification controls using managed code?

Thank you!
Felix

You can handle the BalloonChanged or ResponseSubmitted events, and set the 
Visible property to False in the case of the former. In the case of the 
latter you need to place a link or form button on the Notification with a 
target of "cmd:2" take a look at the Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.Notification 
class topic in the help content for a more detailed explanation of this 
unique identifier.

Hey Peter,

I did look at the msdn for Notification. Unfortunately when you set
visible=false and use the cmd:2 button all it does is just hide the
notification. If i close my application I still have one of my
softkeys mapped to "notification" and a little notification icon in
the top menu.

I need to be able to remove the notification so that the phone thinks
it was handled. Sort of like when you get a new text message and
you've read it. The notification goes away.

Thanks,
Felix

Did you call Dispose on the component?

Didn't think of that. Thanks. That worked just fine.
