Hide the menubar and the SIP button

Hi, I'm developing a Dialog based application. I have seen SHFullscreen and
SHInitDialog methods for achieve it and it works, but I must to do it in each
"OnInitDialog" and in each "W_ACTIVATE" message of each Dialog Window to hide
the menubar and the SIP button (and it makes the app more slowly, all the
time trying to show the menubar and then I hide it) .

Is there an easy way to do this, for example, in the beginning of the
application, and it's applied for all the dialogs??

Thanks in advance.

SHHandleWMActivate might do the trick. I didn't work hard, but I
couldn't get it to do it for me. I _think_ the problem (from my
perspective) is that the operating system resets the Task Bar and SIP
button visibility after each WM_ACTIVATE message. This is not a
problem for other Windows CE platforms.
