MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
  1. Create a new Windows CE project in either Visual Basic or eMbedded Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
  2. Select Components from the Project menu and select the Microsoft CE CommandBar Control.
  3. Add a Frame control to Form1 and place it in the middle of the form.
  4. Add a CommandBar control to Frame1.
  5. Run the project in either emulation or on the remote device.
  6. Click the Close button on the CommandBar control, and note that the frame is no longer visible, but the application is still open. The expected behavior is that clicking the Close button would close the application.
