HI.
I use Lazarus & FPC to develop programs for WinCE since a few years (now
on 1.0.8). Besides the usual beginner problems and errors, the whole
system runs very well.
I've had a lot of problems with forms too until I understood that the
window stack does not work very well.
I must mention that the handheld computers have a screen size fo 320 x
240 less the top and bottom bars.
After a lot of tests I took the decision to work with modal forms and
control myself the display and hiding of the forms. The sequence wich
works every time is the next one:
- all forms are created at the starting time
onto any form, need another form:
- prepare properties of the form to be dispayed
- Ret := OtherForm.ShowModal;
- do whatever to do whith ModalResult and OtherForm properties and data
- *Self.BringToFront;
*On another hand these are the forms properties changed from the default:
*Form.Position := poScreenCenter;
Height := 320;
Width := 240;
*Form;KeyPreview := True;
All forms display without problem as full screen.
After a lot of time spent on checking different combinations, the former
one gave predictable and acceptable results
Do not forget that with WinCE Microsoft didn't implement a lot of
properties, methonds, etc. from a basic Windows OS.

Windows 8 is used in tablets, notebooks and desktops. It has a great
likeness to windows phone. Windows phone was create to substitutes
operating systems that runs on handhelds and smartphones.
Windows Mobile and Windows CE was developed to run in handhelds and
smartphones. There is a third operating system by MS named Pocket PC.
Theoretically they are similar, but my experience shows me that
Lazarus seems to run better under Windows Mobile 6 and later. I have a
stable high reliable application for windows mobile hat have serious
troubles to run under Windows CE and doesn't run in Pocket PC.
The Lazarus IDE is the same. You only must configure certain
properties to generate executables to run in handhelds.
Hope I have give you some help
Ricardo

Interesting topic
What is the difference between Windows CE, Windows 8 and Windows Mobile?
Which one can you use Lazarus to create "apps" for?

Someone suggested compile with Lazarus 1.1. I did it(downloaded and
installed daily screenshot). The trouble with fullscreen still
exists. I discovered when I ran in a windows mobile device emulator.
I'll ask for a friend try test in a WinCE device again. At least
I'll discover if the new version manage the screens right in Windows
CE(although the fullscreen still in trouble)

No experience with WinCE and Lazarus, but wasn't this problem fixed in
Laz trunk?
I at least recall a lot of posts about this a while ago...
