I'm trying to write a very basic program in VS 2008 (VB.NET 2.0) that will help me to quickly set up new servers. One of the things I want the program to do is hide the "Volume" and "Network" system icons. I cannot find where that setting is or a way to programmically change it.

View 2 RepliesI am having an applciation running in system tray notification area, but the problem is that although I exit the application the icon is still there, when I point my mouse near notification area it's gone as it should be when I clicked on exit. I guess it is because my mouse position makes the area to refresh, if so, how can I do it inside my application to avoid having my useless icon in there?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a program that when I press the X or _ buttons on the form it minimizes to the notification area(system tray). I did find some stuff but didn't understand were to put the code I just have some basic knowledge in VB.net. What I read was something about the formclosing event
Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
e.Cancel = True
'Me.Visible = False
End Sub
and well it sort of works to what I want but don't know were to go from there.. what I read from another post was that I had to do something with "NotifyIcon Class" but still didn't know what to do with that or where to put the code.
Basically what I want the program to do is minimize to system tray and a tooltip will pop up when I hover my mouse over it and display something that I want. Also when I right click the icon I would like some options to be displayed so that I could program it to close.
How do I can put a text (shift the icon image) on notification icon alredy put it on system tray (near clock place) using Visual Basic 2010?
View 3 RepliesI have a panel that Iv added some groups to dynamically. Inside this same panel I have another panel that is NOT visible. I also added some groups to this panel. I placed a button "btnMoreLess" that sets the nested/hidden panel .visible = true however I never see it appear. If I unnest the panels it seems to work, but does not have the effect I am looking for. I want all these groups to be inside the main panel, and have scrolling enabled. The hidden panel is set to autosize so it wont scroll. My thought is that when the click "btnMoreLess" the additional groups will become unhidden and cause the scrollbar on the main panel to appear with all the additional groups. Perhaps there is another method to do this?

Context: I'm working with a relatively simple winforms application, written in VB.NET on the .NET 3.5 framework in Visual Studio 2010. Issue: The FormLoad event creates two threads when the program is opened. One handles automatic update checking and the other performs a time consuming task syncing files with the internet.

View 3 RepliesI've got a timer which ticks every half a second. It calls a background process which renders text as icons and uses them for notification icons.
Public Shared DISCUS(9) As NotifyIcon
Private Sub BackgroundProcess2_DoWork() Handles BackgroundProcess2.DoWork
Try
For counter As Integer = 0 To My.Computer.FileSystem.Drives.Count - 1
Dim FontColor As Color

Now for some reason, after a few minutes of the application being active, I get a JIT pop-up that doesn't render any text or buttons. Clicking on it causes the JIT debugger to crash, and I get the Windows "{App} has stopped responding." with error code CLR20R3. I'm not sure what this is all about, but I can provide any other details if needed. I've got everything nested in Try/Catch statements, all with code to write to a crash log but nothing gets written and I still get that error message.

I need to implement a notification system software for each new verson, I am interested only inform the user of the presence of updates, not autoupdate software, how can I do?
View 15 RepliesI need to create a notification system for my application that will alert the user once new items have been sent to their queue, which is made of up database entries. The latter part of this question may need to be asked in the database forum, but I guess we'll figure that out First, since I haven't created anything like this before, I need some direction on what the best possible solution would be.The notification system should always be running and work independently of the main app. With this requirement, I thought a Windows Service would be best.
The notification itself will just be a quick form that alerts the user. I'm sure most of that will be fairly easy to create. The only issue I'm wondering about is how to constantly check the database and determine a new record has been inserted.Would a windows service have a timer or something that allows me to constantly check?If it does, how would I determine a new record has been inserted?
