I have an app which displays its icon in SysTray but sometimes it is not being displayed for a reason I am aware of, the app is alive but its icon is not shown, the only way to force it to show is to close and re-open the app, is there an alternative way to let it show its icon in the SysTray?
View 2 RepliesUsing VB2010. I want to create an animated icon to go in the SysTray, and I have created all the individual frames as .ico files. Now, I don't like hard coding file names in the code, so I created an ImageList with the .ico files, which I then want to walk through using a Timer. Now, apparently NotifyIcon doesn't accept ImageLists? I get errors when I try to use it. I searched the web, and saw a tip to instead pass the handle of the ImageList to NotifyIcon. So I did this in the timer:
Static Index As Integer = -1
Dim IconHandle As IntPtr
If Index = AnimationIcons.Images.Count - 1 Then

To restore an application from "minimize to system tray" mode to "Normal" mode (visible) from another application, I am using "Showwindow" method of "user32.dll". The API is working as expected i.e. displaying the application on Normal mode. Moreover, I want to remove that application's System tray icon as soon as its mode changes from "minimize to system tray" to "Normal".I had tried using "Shell_NotifyIcon" method of "shell32.dll" by passing "NIM_DELETE" & reference of "NOTIFYICONDATA" but no luck.The API method declaration is as follows: Shared Function Shell_NotifyIcon(ByVal dwMessage As UInteger, ByRef pnid As NOTIFYICONDATA) As Boolean.

View 1 Repliesin vb6 I wrote a program that had a context menu attached to the systray icon, and using an array I was able to create a group of menu items that if you clicked on one of them it became checked but unchecked the rest of the items, I can't seem to find a way of doing this in vb2008,
View 3 RepliesI have a vb.net 2008 application which has its corresponding icon.
The icon shows correctly except in the taskbar when the "small icon" setting is on.
My vb.net project includes a .ico file which when I see in the IDE includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 256x256 bitmaps, in 4, 24 and 32 bits, also 3 .png images in 256x256 32 bits each.
I made the icon myself simply using a 64x64 bitmap and then converting it to .ico, and assigning it to the application in the project properties. I thought windows would use and escalate the corresponding image, it shows even in the file explorer properly in the small icon form, but not in the taskbar.

I have a simple GUI form to hide / show / minimize / terminate / force terminate Processes. i can do all well but for show and hide i need the MainWindowHandle to show or hide it
So here is hide process code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1))
Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle
ShowWindow(hwnd,0)
If i try the same with show code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1))
Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle
ShowWindow(hwnd,9)
The MainWindowHandle become 0 cuz its hidden is there is any other way to get the MainWindowHandle of Process ?

View 8 RepliesI try to figure out how I can launch an executable, a little software that have a window and that doesn't have the option to be minimized into the systray. I know how to start a process, how to minimize the current application into the system tray. But I can't find any example how to do it to a process.
There is a way to start a process, hide his window and make it appear with his icon (or a new defined one) into the systray and when we double click it his widow appear and when we minimize it it return to the systray ? For that part I think I will have to capture the process, subclass it to redefined his minimize action, I am right ?
Has anyone got any ideas on how to display a numeric value in the systray? The only method I can think of is to create an image for each number and change it as required.
