Make Application Show In Taskbar Only?
Nov 14, 2009
I am writing a vb application and i want it to run in the background and also appear int the taskbar ie no window will be opened. The main function of the application is to get data from an external database and send it to excel so it does not need to open a window just to run in the background and also appear in the task bar with options for connecting or disconnecting from the database.
I also want to know if its possible to send the data from vb application to a particular file in excel?

I am looking for a way to implement a PrograssBar on Application TaskBar item on Windows 7 as you can see in Windows 7 like when copying files! I need to do it with a few lines in Visual Basic .NET 2008. I know there is a Windows API Code Pack by Microsoft but it's a large collection and written in C#. How to do this in VB.NET without using a .dll reference?

I 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've created a form that plays some internet radio. The thing is the user wants an extra form for volume control that is docked to the side of the main form. This is no problem, i've made that, but im having some trouble making this form shown at the same time as the main form.In short what i want is that when you set focus on form1, form2 should also get in the foreground. Not focused, it should just follow form1

I have developed vb.net application and have one main form with isMdiContainer property true. It has one Menustrip control docking on top of the form and StatusStrip docking on bottom of the scrren. When User click on any menu item it opens new form or if already opened, show it. My application allow to open multiple child forms opened at same time and all forms StartPosition is set to CenterScreen. My problem is becuase all forms are in cetenr it ovelaps each other and user wouldn't know which form(menu option) is opend. I would like to see all opened forms in different tabs (like in windows taskbar) in bottom of MDI parent form.

Is it possible to make my app only have one tab on the taskbar? I have already created all the forms and now i am 'tidying it up' and i want there to only be one tab for the whole app. Will i have to set one form as a parent and all the others as child forms? Or is there a setting that just needs to be turned off?

So heres a image of what I'm trying to do [URL].. My application is a toolbar sort of thing.. I want it to be stuck to the user's taskbar and the '::'s in the example will be draggable areas so they can move the toolbar left and right above the taskbar.
What I need help doing is: 1. How can I get my app to stick to the users taskbar? I know I cant set the position to mine because different screen resolutions etc, is it possible to do?
2. How can I make the draggable areas only drag left and right and not up and down?

The problem I am having now is, the form size is exactly the size of my screen resolution. This makes the bottom scrollbar cover up by the taskbar. If the taskbar is hidden then it could solve the problem but I cannot set all PC to hide the taskbar

I have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then
Me.ControlBox = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?

I have a VB.NET form that takes up the whole screen. On Windows XP, the taskbar is not displayed when moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen. I have auto-hide set, and the taskbar is not locked. I tried the same thing on a Vista computer and it works fine. What am I missing on Windows XP? I need the auto-hide feature to work for my app like it does for other Windows apps.

so so far I've gotten my console application to minimize itself, but I want it to be totally hidden: so I want to disable it from showing in the taskbar too. With a Windows form this was easy, but I'm not so sure about console apps.

When I press "Show Desktop" button in the taskbar my main form "disappears". The only way to show it again is by pressing an other program which is open in the taskbar (lets say Word) to rise and unrise again.
