Hi,

Is there any way to get taskbar's battery and phonesignal indicators icons and then draw into a picturebox or something?


Why do I need this?

I need all screen space available, so all forms are maximized and they cover up the windowsmobile taskbar. But, I have to display information about battery e phone signal strength in just a couple of forms.

I know how to get their values (like systeminformation.phonesignalstrength), but what I want is the "current icon", so I don't need to worry about their values. It's just a visual information for the user.


In last case, if this is not possible, how to get those icons from windowsmobile shell, so I'll draw them by my self, treating each differente status/values that they assume. (This is what I don't want to do!)

Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english.
