How To Launch Exe Into Systray
Apr 6, 2010
I 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.

I have an applcation that sets itself to 0 opacity on Form1_load which then changes to 1 when the user left clicks on the NotifyIcon.I would also like the form to center itself directy above the notifyicon like the Win7 speakers, power, ect popups.

Using 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

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?

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.

in 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,

I am trying to find a way (VB or C#) to read items that should be present in the systray without looking into the items in explorer's toolbar control. Basic idea is to emulate the systray on a shell other than explorer.exe

Just wanted to start out by saying that I am completely new at this whole programming thing. I am pretty sure the answer is very simple and staring me right in the face but I can't figure it out.Basically, what I want to do is check to see if a directory exists and if it does not, then create it. Then I want to populate a list box with a list I have stored in a text file.
The problem I run into is that while my program runs, as far as I can tell my Subs do not. I just want them to run on their own when the program starts but they don't.
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.IO

(Total noob...vb'ed a little bit over 10 years ago...I think...getting back at it...forgot EVERYTHING...currently using VB 2008 Express before/if shelling out the cash for a full version of Studio.) I created a very simple windows form application (.NET 3.5). In design mode it has a text section on top and two buttons below it.

ok so i dynamically create a wsf for running an automated telnet session that works great!!(finally!!) but auto executing the script from my code is proving difficult for whatever reason.
I have tried:
Shell("C:shutoffscript.wsf") this produces this result.
also tried setting a bat file that launches the script and launching it as well using shell every time I launch it I get an error in the script that works just fine executed outside my code.
using outfile As New StreamWriter("c:" & "shutoffscript.wsf")
outfile.Write(sb.ToString())
End Using
MsgBox("Script built press ok to execute")
Shell("C:shutoffscript.wsf")
I think this has to be some sort of permissions error right? Since both errors tend to not be able to find the file. Just not sure how to fix it.

I want to run a exe . using Process.Start(My.Settings.dirt3fold & "dirt3.exe") it runs but than displays a error (not my program,the actually exe) .I believe this is because it will only run if its run through windows explorer . is there a way to get around this ,maybe use a shortcut or something .

So I have my form, I add one combobox (combobox1) and a button that says "Launch..."Button 1's
Process.Start(ComboBox1.SelectedItem)
When you select a program from the combobox (combobox1) and click launch, it launches that program, for example, cmd.exe (command prompt) when I click the button, it launches the command prompt, but if I select a game (for example chess.exe, for vista), it says it can't find the file, this is because the search for the file is only: WindowsSystem32, how can I change that? OR, how can I add a reference that searches the WHOLE Disk, not just WindowsSystem32?

the thing is that i am creating a little launcher shell that will start on a lan-party computer full with games.all the things i am doing with it is for my own use only and will not be used for harmfull stuff. in the other topic i got the intention that they thought i was a cracker of hacker or something.im am just creating a launcher app that launches my games without the use of explorer.exe to be loaded with windows.i have done several things to try to load a game when i press a button but they always crash. when i start the games normally there is no problem.first i thought it needed the use of explorer.exe but when i tested my app with explorer.exe running i got the same result. so i think its my app that is causing the problem.
i have used this:
Process.Start("C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe")
and this:
Dim startInfo As System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
Dim pStart As New System.Diagnostics.Process
startInfo = New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Related Designs\ANNO 1404\Anno4.exe")
[code].....
as for the people who replied in the other topic. the register files you have seen in my code was for activating the GameShell.exe to run as shell instead of the explorer.exe for the current user and for all users and to restore it to explorer.exe.

I need help on how to launch the normal windows desktop. I have a TCP Client/Server application where the client should start before any other application starts. To do this, I replaced explorer.exe with my application file path in the registry. What I want to do is the client minimizes when it receives a command from the server, and start windows as normal.

In my application there is a feature that lets you get the current song from itunes, but itunes opens up upon my applications launch.
So I'm assuming that it is opening when:
Imports iTunesLib
Is called. Is there a way that I can import something after a launch, and on a event, like a button push?
