View 18 Replieshow I can minimize an application to tray & associate a menu on right click on the icon in system tray.
I know I have to use NotifyIcon in the code but explain in detail the whole thing as well as how to add menus.
I've looked all over the internet and did a search on Dreamincode.net but I can't find anything on minimizing to the tray for Vb 2008.What I want to achieve is if the user hits the "X" button at the top, the application should minimize to the tray. When I right-click on the icon, a context menu strip should appear.
View 14 RepliesI am doing my project in vb.net 2008. When I minimize my running windows application its icon must be minimized and fit in system tray. And when we doing some other works in our system (such as video playing or other working) my windows application must works in background.
View 2 Repliesrecently been working on an application and added a minimize to tray feature. An update to the program made it so I could run multiple instances of the application without them interfering with each other. Which is great and what I had planned. BUT now when more than 1 instance of the application is running I have two notify(tray)icons on the system tray.My question is how, if its even possible, would I make both minimize into the same tray icon and just add a contextmenuitem to the right click menu (listing the name of the windows that are minimized). I hope thats not too confusing.I know how to add the contextmenuitems that won't be an issue once I can figure out how to get the windowstate of the other instance of the application.
instance1\..................................................._open instance1.windowcaption
...............\_______trayicon>contextmenu__/__open instance2.windowcaption
.............../................................................\___close all instances

I'm working on an app at the moment that requires a bunch of apps not made by me to run. The user has to be able to put some inputs into these other apps, but after that I'd like to have a button they can push on my app that minimizes all of these other apps under one icon I can choose. When the icon is clicked, these other apps would jump back up again.

View 6 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.
1) Is it possible to allow a vb 2008 program to run at computer startup. Meaning, one the computer is turned on, it will load up with all the other startup programs so that it is ready to use.
2) I also would like to know if it is possible to have the program minimize down to the tray where all start up programs usually appear. So that instead of it cluttering up the task bar it will be in the tray and when they clcik or double click it, it will open back up.
I've created one project where I want to start application directly minimize in system tray,it is there but I can see it also in taskbar. [code]

View 7 RepliesI am creating a webbrowser with Visual Basic, and I have finished everything but this: When I click on an external link, (I.E. On a photo, or on youtube) it opens up in a new IE window. I want it to open in my browser, not Internet Explorer.I have read everything I have found on this subject, but it is all for normal web browsers. I want to do this for a tabbed web browser, not one without tabs. Basicly, I want to use this code with my tabbed web browser that uses tab control.
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow(ByVal sender
As Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow

I've just finished making a web browser suited for my personal use, but when I click on a new link or something it opens a new window in Internet Explorer - which gets extremely anoying.. Is there a way to make all links open up in a custom browser?
View 19 Repliesim trying to code minimizer for my game because i usually talk on instant messangers and i have to go back and forth. In addition it takes a while for me to go in the game after talking to my friend. Because of this i thought it would be easier if i can get a program to minimize it so i can talk and play. (when i mean minimizing i mean making it smaller size) I used search and google and it only shows the forms minimizing.

I'm writing the program to work through excel. We run Microsoft office 2003 and I'm just getting to VB through excel (by clicking alt+F11).

I am currently working on a application with consists of two AppBars (GUI-wise and client-side). I would like to give the user the option to hide/show both AppBar.

I coded a web browser over the course of a year called Nova - very advanced with tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, etc etc etc etc. I could go on all day about how advanced it is. But.. there is one flaw. You cannot make it the default browser; I don't know the code!I already know the CommandLineArgs stuff so it actually opens the HTML file rather than just opening the program; in fact, I already can make files open with Nova completely. It's just the other stuff - you know, when a website is to be opened from a help file or something, it opens with Nova, Windows recognises it as the default browser, stuff like that.
View 3 RepliesOther topics around the Internet are all unfinished topics, so I'll ask this myself. How do I set a self-made browser as the default browser? I know it has something to do with accessing the registry and checking what the value is in some places, but I'm not quite sure. Now, I've made this browser called Nova;
very well coded and advanced, tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, can change default search provider, uses Gecko as its engine so it's not just an IE shell, etc. It's been developed over the past year and will still continue to be developed. I'm almost ready to release the first version - but I just need this annoyance solved.

But now I have a need to allow the user to choose a folder path without selecting a file. Basically a folder location, on the local hard drive where my code will read the files located in the choosen folder and process against them.
I am drawing a total blank and my web searches are not giving me what I am looking for.
I initially developed this with a Windows FolderDialogBrowser control, but it will not run on the web server, likely a security issue, and I can not change it.
