need help basically i have a mortscript that uses the phone application in the windows mobile enviornment.
i want to create a .cab that is a program thats (basically a callback program), but when it runs it displays an animated gif or a loading screen while all the functions perform in teh background. So basically teh picture on the screen fills up the entire screen and nothing can be seen, but at the same time it has no functionality (meaning that all the softkeys still have their functions but you cannot see what is happening behind the picture, even though it has no function. Aka the picture is transparent eventhough you cant see through it..... think about that for a sec.....
in any event i have this mort script code (below) that i want to put into the sdk and code but i dont really know c++ or vb too well. I was wondering kind of if someone could help or direct me how to do this or create a program that utliizes this stuff.. (btw in teh script the makecall is an exe in teh phone that i have rights over, so that can be put into cab as well and intertwined into the code.
eventually i want to port this to the iphone SDK , symbian, and blackberry, but for now WM6 is just fine to start out with/ Thanks for help
code below is in mortscript on windows mobile

I'm not sure if you mean "lock down" or just run invisibly. From your second post it sounds like you want all this to occur without the user knowing.
If that is the case, then you could very easily write a console application that does not have any UI at all. The commands will all execute and if you don't set the wait cursor, the user will not see one. Now, I do not know what your "makecall.exe" does, but even if it does there are little workarounds you could use to hide the window, etc.
ok well basically the script uses the the (makecall) is a way for the phone to dial out.
because basically here is what i need
press button (loading screen appears) while screen appears:
1. dial out #
2. once call is connected (like 1 sec) read by registry disconnect
3. wait for incoming call (told by registry)
4. when incoming call comes in from certain #, automatically pickup call
5. then end loading screen and go straight to phone dialer (while call is connected)
how can i write that in C ++ or need help ... thanks!

I would write this in unamanaged C++, ideally in Visual Studio (since you can test on their device emulators easily). This code does not look overly complicated (though completely locking down the device can be a pain).
If you can get a copy of Visual Studio and install the WIndows Mobile 5.0 SDK, you can basically just search MSDN for each function you're trying to perform.
Runwait looks a lot like "CreateProcess," RegRead would be the Registry API , etc. Basically just the pains of learning a new language or API. All the calls are different =).
