Peter  has posted a new article on OpenNETCF.org about hosting Native windows controls. In order to achieve that he had to use some low level hacks by changing window style of the MessageWindow and I absolutely agree with Peter - we need WndProc and native handles in CF in the v2. And don't forget Graphics.FormHdc, Bitmap.GetHBitmap and Icon.FromHandle! Having a powerful framework is great, but it can't wrap ALL available native functionality, so Microsoft, please, give us ability to develop what's missing ourselves.
