To use it, just create a class file and drop in the code. Then, call the function as follows

SHFullScreenHelper.ShowSIPButton(this, false); //This hides the SIP button (C#
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowSIPButton(this, true); //This displays the SIP button (C#

SHFullScreenHelper.ShowSIPButton(Me, False) 'This hides the SIP button (VB
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowSIPButton(Me, True) 'This shows the SIP button (VB

You can also show and hide the Start menu button as follows

SHFullScreenHelper.ShowStartButton(this, false); //This hides the Start butto
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowStartButton(this, true); //This shows the Start butto

SHFullScreenHelper.ShowStartButton(Me, False) 'This hides the Start button (VB
SHFullScreenHelper.ShowStartButton(Me, True) 'This shows the Start button (VB
