Problem:        An invisible "hotspot" button is still clickable on PocketPC.  If you have a button control that is visible, but with no border and with no label text, a special type of "hotspot" button is used on the PocketPC.  This hotspot button always returns False to the .visible property, but still responds to pen taps.  A control should not respond to pen taps when it is not visible, and the hotspot button should properly support the .visible property.  This problem does not affect the PalmOS platform.

Solution:        There is no solution to this problem at the current time.  A workaround may be to use the form's OnPenDown/OnPenUp scripts to either detect or ignore pen taps on the screen instead of using the hotspot button.

Status:        OPEN        This bug has not been resolved yet.
