FIX: User Input Is Blocked and Rectangular Area Does Not Update (303356)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.1
This article was previously published under Q303356

SYMPTOMS

Keyboard and mouse input is blocked, and a small rectangular region in the center of the screen appears. You cannot update this region by running applications.

After a program sets the "busy" mouse pointer, a small window appears in the middle of the screen that blocks all input. Because this window is in the foreground, programs cannot update their window contents in the region that is covered. One state of the "wait" pointer does not display an icon, so you cannot see why the screen is not being updated in that region. Keyboard input is also blocked while this blank pointer window is present.

RESOLUTION

A supported software update is now available from Microsoft as Windows CE 4.1 Core OS QFE 303356. To resolve this problem immediately, click the following article number for information about obtaining Windows CE Platform Builder and core operating system software updates:
