I am currently using a 3rd party menu system (Codejock's CommandBars) and I wanted to do something a bit strange perhaps. When the user enters a certain "mode" in my application, I wanted to position a "banner" (picturebox) that spans the width of the form and covers the entire menu system area to prevent users from interacting with tools, etc. I do not want to hide the menu/toolbars as this would create some flickering and I really want all the controls to stay in the same location when they enter this mode. I would like to try and avoid using another form if possible.
