In my Pocket PC app I have the main form come up and then on top of that I
display a smaller form, designed to resemble a dialog box. But when this 2nd
form appears, the small SIP icon in the lower right does not display.

What's the best approach to refresh/redraw the screen? I'm thinking of
doing this before displaying my smaller dialog box and am thinking that may
reveal the SIP icon.

Try adding a MainMenu component to the second form.

I m using EVC++4 and I was have solved this problem by that code snipped.

// Show system menu bar
SHMENUBARINFO mbi;
memset(&mbi, 0, sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO));
mbi.cbSize = sizeof(SHMENUBARINFO);
mbi.hwndParent = hWnd;
mbi.nToolBarId = IM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT;
mbi.hInstRes = g_hInstance;
mbi.nBmpId = 0;
mbi.cBmpImages = 0;

if (!SHCreateMenuBar(&mbi))
return false;
