Taskbar and hardware buttons on Windows Mobile devices
I have a new observation about the relationship between state of taskbar on a Window Mobile 5.0 device and the hardware buttons (atleast on Dell Axim x51). I have found that if taskbar is disabled by calling EnableWindow() or is hidden by ShowWindow(,SW_HIDE), the hardware buttons stop working. They don't launch their assigned applications.
Solution:
If there is a need to hide taskbar window, get its window handle and call MoveWindow() to change the location and size of taskbar window out of the viewable area.
