Windows CE5.0: unable to hide command bar!!!

I developed an application for critical healthcare that must run in fullscreen mode.
Now I'm trying to migrate to Windows CE 5.0, but I can't hide the bottom bar (command or menu bar ).
I already tryied various combinations of
CCommandBar
SHFullScreen
SHFindMenuBar
CommandBar_Show
ecc...

this issue will jeopardize the entire project.
Hope someone can help me......

YES!

You Rock... Where did you find that... I had the SHIDIF_FULLSCREENNOMENUBAR but it didn't work ... but the adding the SHFindMenuBar and SW_HIDE worked...

Thank you Valerio, thank you!

I've a gift for you....

BOOL Ctest_fullscreenDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();
    SHINITDLGINFO sid;
    sid.dwMask = SHIDIM_FLAGS;
    sid.dwFlags = SHIDIF_FULLSCREENNOMENUBAR;
    sid.hDlg = m_hWnd; ::SHInitDialog(&sid);
    HWND hBar =SHFindMenuBar(m_hWnd);
    ::ShowWindow(hBar,SW_HIDE);
     ......

I'm an idiot. It was so simple.....

Nope, it isn't.....

The only route I haven't tried yet is trying to write a GAPI program without making it a game program....

Like I said before I can get the CView to go full-screen (with a few bad things,) but I can't get a CDialog box to go fullscreen. When I used eVC 3.0 I was able to get a full screen, ported the same code over in VSC++ beta 2005 and I can't get the menu bar at the bottom to disappear and I can't put anything in the menu bar (CDialog prevents it.)

Heck the CDialog has a member m_bFullScreen but it does NOTHING....

Someone has to know more about this... Why does VSC++ beta 2005 not allow the CDialog box to go full screen

Sorry, this isn't an answer but more of a uh yea.....

I've also tried for about a month now to figure this out without any luck....

I've recently moved to a CView instead of a CDialogbox approach but I am running into many problems making the CView act and show things like a Dialog box.

So, yes, the CView goes fullscreen; but there are still many problems with the fullscreen and using a CView instead of a CDialogbox.

some problems I've noticed:
1 - popups don't disappear after they are shown
2 - if the IP icon is visible before your app is launched you can't get rid of it
3 - tab and hold doesn't erase itself

Now I believe that these are because I am not that familiar with the CView as I am with CDialogBox and I believe the CView wasn't designed to contain controls (but you can do it, mannually,) and maybe I just don't know how to handle them all..

So I really would like to know how you can make a CDialogbox go fullscreen in the VSC++ 2005 beta program.
