I remember reading somewhere that the swipe from top or sides of the screen doesn't work on PC because the swipe has to start off the screen, and that's impossible to do with a mouse cursor. Regards, Nathan Keir Systems Analyst John Deere Financial Limited A.C.N. 078 714 646 Australian Credit L

OneNote is my main use too. Syncing between tablet, desktop and WP7 phone. Works very nicely. Though I would use it for more if it had more power. Regards, Nathan Keir Systems Analyst John Deere Financial Limited A.C.N. 078 714 646 Australian Credit Licence Number 391484 Incorporated in Queen

All this XML stuff these days has its advantages but as primarily a Windows Forms developer starting to work on WP7 apps and such I have to say I'm severely disappointed at all the design time controls we are losing. I've spent many hours in the past poring over config files for remoting and si

Why not just manually disable the parent form while the dialog is visible? That's pretty much all a modal dialog is really doing anyway. If that's not enough, the SetParent win32 api function may also help. Regards, Nathan Keir Systems Analyst John Deere Financial Limited A.C.N. 078 714 646 A
