i like my application to start and goto system tray from begining from where i show or hide my main application form. To implement this i create 1 form named "FRM_main" and 1 Class named "MainClass" then define a procedure in MainClass which is as follow.
[code]Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim FRM_main As Form = New Form
FRM_main.Show()
End Sub[/code]
and set Title, Size and location of form at design time.but i didn't get the desired result. my application didn't start and goto system tray as inteded.i also try coding the FormLoad Event to ME.Hide but it also doesn't work so how do i do this?
I m providing minimize to system tray feature in my application. For that I used Noticifation Icon. I used the followed snippet to show the Notification Icon Tooltip for 5 sec
I have developed a program using vb.net 2008 that will allow you to open another program at a specific time. This is just a beta and that is why 2 way of telling the program when to close the program that opened and this program.Anyway this is my issue when I get everything set up to open the program once it opens i don't have focus on the main form or the notification icon. (When the program has not lauched the program I am able to use the notication icon. (notification icon does the follow: restores the main window to normal view and exits the program.) Could some help to get the notification icon to work when the program has launched.[code]
I'm trying to invoke the below but the EventHander is not compatible with the RasConnectionEventArgs from my calling event, how would I invoke SetOverlayIcon and my notification icon on the UI thread?
Public Sub watcher_Connected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RasConnectionEventArgs) If InvokeRequired Then BeginInvoke(New EventHandler(AddressOf OnRegChanged))
In my notification area on my taskbar I always see pop up messages from programs. How do i do this, when I add notifyicon to my form it just put the icon there but no pop up message of my choice.
In other alarm clocks I've seen, when you exit them, they close but minimize to a notification icon. I want to get that, but I don't know how. I've tried: Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
I am trying to place a custom icon in a tray notification balloon, such as when you install updates from Windows Update, it shows a balloon in the tray with a custom icon.
I am trying to create a setup file which would automatically install a link to the executable in the User's Desktop and Startup--> Program. However despite following all the steps in the right order I do not see any short cut in the desktop and Start -> Program.
I would like to create a small app that listens to the system and records the application name and what file it opens. I whould like to keep track of how much time I spend in each application and what file the app is opening on my computer

i deleted my previous start up form to be replaced by another one but each time i launch the application,the deleted start up form is still displayed.i dont know from where this deleted start up form is being loaded.
I am having an applciation running in system tray notification area, but the problem is that although I exit the application the icon is still there, when I point my mouse near notification area it's gone as it should be when I clicked on exit. I guess it is because my mouse position makes the area to refresh, if so, how can I do it inside my application to avoid having my useless icon in there?
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 am developing an app that uses a sql backend database (hosted on a different machine).The app I am developing will be run on 10 different workstations simultaneously.Sometimes the app will change the database in such a way that the database needs to initiate a workflow process and I'm not sure of the best way to do this.Also, when database changes happen, how does one best notify the other app instances that the change has happened, so they know to refresh their data? I was thinking that triggers could help initiate the workflow but it might be nice to develop the actual workflow in .net code.Should I write another App to run as a service on the server and do the work and also to tell the client apps when things change?
I need to create a notification system for my application that will alert the user once new items have been sent to their queue, which is made of up database entries. The latter part of this question may need to be asked in the database forum, but I guess we'll figure that out First, since I haven't created anything like this before, I need some direction on what the best possible solution would be.The notification system should always be running and work independently of the main app. With this requirement, I thought a Windows Service would be best.
The notification itself will just be a quick form that alerts the user. I'm sure most of that will be fairly easy to create. The only issue I'm wondering about is how to constantly check the database and determine a new record has been inserted.Would a windows service have a timer or something that allows me to constantly check?If it does, how would I determine a new record has been inserted?
I want A application that im going to make in VB.NET to load on Startup. I found a few topics on Windows Service for creating a start up service but then I read that you can't use it to load up a form. So there must be a way to have your program load on a computer when the user turns on or log's in at startup.Thing is, this application is going to be installed on many computers and people wont like having to remember to run it.
I've made some application in VB.NET 2005 and it works fine.I sent this application to the custemer and he is getting the following error at the application startup: "An unexpected error has occured. Would you like to restart the application?".
This guy is using Windows Vista. I've tested this application on several Vista machines and it works fine.
Do you have any idea how to debug it? Of course this guy doesn't have Visual Studio.
I'm having problems with startup application I'm trying to use a checkbox to enable and disable boot on startup(The enabled code works but the disable code doesn't)
Private Sub AddCurrentKey(ByVal name As String, ByVal path As String) Dim key As RegistryKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", True)
I am facing a small problem with vista, i have this code, all i am trying to do is to run my application when the computer start up.It works on Windows XP, But in Windows Vista is shows me an error message: "Requested registry access is not allowed." I don't understand why? i mean i am Under Administrator account, it should work fine.
here is my code
PHP Dim regKey As RegistryKey regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", True) 'Set the program to start with Windows: ' regKey.SetValue("Media", "C:Program FilesMediamedia.exe")
I am working on a vb.net windows 32 bit application. The application needs to startup. So I add the registry entry to rut it on windows startup. Also it is set to run asdministrator.The application starts fine onall OS except Win7 32 bit. It works fine for win 7- 64 bit. On Win 7 32 bit:If i execute the application directly, it runs fine. But it does not starts at the time of windows startup.
With my new ventures in VB, I wondered how I can allow the user to start the application on startup if they wish. Where when the checkbox for it is checked, it will launch on startup. And when its not checked, it is normally launched. (e.g. Windows Live Messenger)
