Pocket PC form properties

I'm a VB programmer working on a joint Pocket PC project with another
programmer who uses LabView 7.1. In VB 2005, I have these three form
properties available:

MinimizeBox (True/False)
ControlBox (True/False)
WindowState (Normal/Maximized)

When MinimizeBox is False, the form's minimize "X" button in the upper
right corner is changed to a close "Ok" button.

When ControlBox is False, there are no minimize or close buttons in the
form's upper right corner.

When WindowState is Maximized, the application runs in full screen mode
and there is no taskbar visible.

My question: are there equivalent properties or functions in LabView? We
would like to run the LabView app full screen or at least without a
minimize/close button in the upper right corner.

There are no such properties available in LV PDA 7.1. Maybe the new 8.0 has something like that.
If you can get the window handle to the form (assuming PocketPC has this) and use that, then you can write a DLL which will do this and call that DLL from your LV application using a Call Library Function Node. Look at the documentation for the module for more details.

Actually, perhaps I misspoke. LV does have these properties in its desktop OSes (File>>VI Properties>>Window Appearance>>Customize), and I think I tried this once with the PDA module and it didn't do anything, but that might have been version 7.0. I can't test it now, and I doubt it will work, but if there is anyway to do this inside LV, that would be it.
