I am currently developing some application that's useful for me. And now I have one doubt about something.. My form has 15px Height and 100% screen Width, and it's located at 0,0 coordinates. This means that vissualy, it's little small.I've seen many applications that for preventing this kind of visual method from being positioned above desktop icons and windows, they manage to "Displace" everything down.[url]...

View 2 RepliesIs there a way in VB .Net to add specific icons to a desktop like "Computer", "Network",Recycle bin", and "User" files? I want to be ablse to use it for XP and Vista, but Vista as a main priority. In vista you can Right Click the desktop select "Properties", click "Change Desktop Items" in the left hand corner, and then select the icons you want. I thought that maybe there is a way to do it by calling that, or maybe a way to do it in the registry.

I'm practicing using the setup and deployment project. I can add a shortcut to the desktop and give it an icon to display without problem. Many applications have a choice of icons to display for the desktop icon; when we right-click on the icon and choose "change icon" there is a box that appears giving the user a choice of different styles of icons to use for the programme. My question is: how can I give the user a choice of icons to be able to select which one to display? Do I have to make a dll file or is it another method?
Is there a way to Show/Hide the desktop icons in .NET?I tried manually editing the HideIcons subkey in the registry through code, but it didn't take for some reason.I also tried calls to Win API methods FindWindowA but i'm not the best at handling unmanaged code.

I have created a project that uses a listview associated to an imagelist (LargeImagelist, I have set the size as 100 x 75 and 32 bit depth), that displays information from a database along with an image from the image list. My listview is set to tilemode so that I can control the size of the tiles to get two columns of six. The image list is populated when the form is loaded from all the images in a specific folder, this part is working appropriately as I can get a picturebox working consistently that references an image from the imagelist.
