View 2 RepliesHey trying to make a fancy little app here in VB.NET framework 4.I've seen several programs which utilise windows 7's taskbar progressbar, but they have it embedded in the application when i googled and attempted to do this, my program had to lug around 3 extra dlls when its supposed to be a single executable, and highly portable. how can i gain access to the taskbar progressbar without having to drag about these resources?

You know how you can use REMOTE DESKTOP and see your local drives as a type of SYSTEM FOLDER with a comment of DISK FROM REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION. If your browse to a folder you might see the ADDRESS look like this

What is tsclient? Is that a driver that is "expressing" itself like a folder structure?How about when you plug a camera or other device in a usb port and it shows as a G: drive, for instance?I'm guessing the G: drive trick is just a "driver" starting up for the usb port that somehow makes itself seen as a mapped drive.Is the \tsclient thing done the same way? Is there some kind of tsclient.exe that runs to do whatever this does?How can I make my own "pseudo" folder structure?
I'm trying to integrate a custom control that I built into my vb.net project. My control contains 4 text boxes Month, Day, Year, and Time. My database field is a datetime field in SQL Server 2005.I am able to bind the data, but my control doesn't work when a date isn't entered. I'm pretty sure that this is a DBNull issue. I need to be able to insert NULL into the database when a date isn't entered. When a date is entered, I want to insert that date into the database. With the below code, I can't tab out of my control when a date isn't entered.

View 3 RepliesI have a program that has a main window, and a progression of other windows that all open from each other. I only want the main window to show in the taskbar, and I want to be able to minimize at any window, and have every window minimize to a single item in the taskbarThe problem is: when I set each form's 'SHOWINTASKBAR' to True, every form shows in the taskbar instead of just one. If I set the 'SHOWINTASKBAR' property to False, they don't minimize to the taskbar.
View 1 RepliesI am making a Kiosk system and would like to recreate the Windows Taskbar in VB.NET, specifically the window management features of the taskbar: displaying open windows, switching between windows, and highlighting which window has focus. if the taskbar had the same positioning properties as the Windows Taskbar, in that even when other windows had focus the taskbar would still have focus and would not taking focus away from windows on the screen, and maximized windows would not maximize over the taskbar.
View 1 RepliesWindows 7 has a new feature which shows ProgressBar in TaskBar.There's a Windows API released by Microsoft which is a wrapper for .NET applications that allows .NET developers use these functions in their apps.I am not going to use it and just wanna know if there is any new functions in .NET Framework 4.0 RTM which allows us to use such functions naively in .NET?

I can create a notifyicon, and although it can be used to display notifications I need the text information to always be displayed... I could have used different icons to show a change in status in the notifytray but I really need text to display the status.
Is it possible to show a different text in the task bar of Windows and the title bar of the application Window?

View 5 RepliesI saw an application for cashier system in a certain store. I noticed that while the application was running, the window form of their application occupies the entire screen and the windows taskbar seems to be hidden. I'm just curious how did they hide the windows taskbar? Do they hide the taskbar in a manual settings on their computer before the application was launched? If not, how did they make their application capable of hiding the taskbar? Please put a detail code if applicable. I just want to know how to hide the taskbar when you launch the application and put it back when you exits the application as well.

View 2 RepliesI asked a question earlier asking how to use the Windows 7 taskbar progress bar without the .dll files, but I realized that in VS2010 you can embed a .dll into your application. I set this option to embed to true, but when trying to use the code for said .dll, I get this error: Interop type "Windows7ProgressBar" cannot be embedded. Use the application interface instead.

We have an application that self-updates using a Laucher.exe process which copies down new App.exe and DLLs from a server then runs them in a separate process. This was all working very well until the arrival of the Windows 7 taskbar... Problem is in Windows 7, if the user pins the Launcher.exe to the task bar (by right-clicking the shortcut to Launcher.exe) then this happens... When you start the program the "pinned" taskbar icon momentarily gets focus while the launcher is running but then a totally separate new icon appears when App.exe is running. If the user then decides to right click the icon from the running App.exe and pin that to the taskbar, they bypass the application update part of the process.

Is it possible to change the spacing windows have? and if so how? By spacing I mean the space that the taskbar reserves for itself.
View 6 RepliesI want to have multipul fourms on my webbrowser and i've never done it before so I created a new windows form and put a button on my taskbar that would show the form this is my script Show(Form2) but when I click the button my whole project closes. it also did this with an about box.
View 3 RepliesI have a very weird problem. I have a VB.NET 2.0 application that takes advantage of Windows 7 taskbar button progress features, i.e. displaying certain progress and application state in the Win7 taskbar button.Everything works just fine - I can set and update progress, I can set the button to paused or ewrror state, I can set it to No progress. Everything works, except MARQUE (Indeterminate) mode. This is a total mistery, whenever I set state to TBPF_INDETERMINATE (value of 0x1), it simply changes back to NOPROGRESS type, i.e. it removes all progress inidcation from the taskbar button and sets it back to its default state - no animated marque is ever displayed!
I have read documentation on MSDN -[URL] tried various combinations like setting progress to 0 and then calling set state to indeterminate; or like setting it to normal first and then to indeterminate - nothing works. It's a total mistery - and there is no clue in the documentation as to why it is failing...

View 2 RepliesI have a program with which I can open a second form on a beamer, this works perfect, but what I do notice it that on the taskbar (I have windows 7) I see the main icon of the app but also the form that is created.What I would like is that the second icon is not displayed on the taskbar thumbnails, this way I can't close the second form by the X but only by a button on the main app.
