Now I'm confused, so let me take some time to clarify.
I don't call anything a command bar. I assume you mean the bar that's
at the bottom of a Smartphone (AKA Windows Mobile Standard) screen and
contains the menus. I usually call it the menu bar, but I may be
wrong.
I think you have one app with a dialog box, and it opens a child
dialog box you call MyDialog. When MyDialog opens, the menu/command
bar disappears.
Now I'll try to add some actual info.
I have several apps with a main dialog box that opens children. And
the original menu/command bar shows for all of them. I think the only
thing I needed to do was make sure none of the child dialog boxes hid
the menu/command bar. I gave you some hints on that.
If you _do_ find a need to hide or show the menu/command bar, you can
use ShowWindow. The only "tricks" are to use the HWND stored in the
hwndMB member of the SHMENUBARINFO structure you used when you called
SHCreateMenu for the parent dialog box. You may need to call
InvalidateRect first; my code does, but I'm not sure it's necessary.
And you may need to update the desktop window, although I don't.
I tried using SHFindMenuBar, but think that works only when the
menu/command bar is visible.
