Disabling notification bubbles

Hi all,

I am desperately looking for a way to temporarily disable those
annoying notification bubbles.

The most straightforward approach I could come up with was blocking
WM_USER_PACKET_NEW messages to the process managing notifications.
Unfortunately Windows CE does not seem to support message hooks.

Another approach would be to try and pause the process managing
notifications. No idea how this can be accomplished, though. Maybe
killing and later restarting it might be an option, if I knew how.

What seems to work is using SendMessage to broadcast a WM_LBUTTONDOWN
with yPos=0xFFFF to all windows, thus dismissing all popup-bubbles.
This, however, doesn't work for the "Incoming Call" Bubble which keeps
popping up again. I also tried sending DestroyWnd, changing the
z-index, resizing the bubble to 0-width - all in vain.


Do you have any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Wolf
