hide application in Pocket PC

[Daniel]

Hallo,
I'd like to hide application in Pocket PC. My application is written in
C# 2.0 for WM 5.0. I have some questions:

1. When it starts in takes about 5-6 seconds. The whole application
consists of 5-6 forms so it's rather small. Is it possible to speed it
up? Or is it normal time for C# application?

2.
When I click on a close (x) application is hidden. And next time when
I click on exe files it starts very quickly.

When I close application from my code: Application.Exit(); application
is also closed, but later it takes 5-6 seconds to start.

My question is, how to hide application in the same way as it is done
when I click close (x) on a main form?
I just want my application put into memory and let in be there. when it
is nessery let it just show data.
Regards,
Daniel

It's possible to take a long time depending of how complex your main form
is, if you have a lot of controls it will take long.
There was a post a looooong time ago in the CF NG about how to change the
code generated by the designed to improve it, unfortunately you could not
use the designer after those changes.

I click on exe files it starts very quickly.

It's not closed, it's just sent to the background, if you go to settings/
memory / running programs you will see it still running and can activate it
from there.

When I close application from my code: Application.Exit(); application
is also closed, but later it takes 5-6 seconds to start.

In this case you REALLY terminated the application :)

Do not call Application.Exit , it's that simple :)
