VS 2008 - NotifyIcon And Windows 7 - Creates An Icon In The Taskbar That Is Visible To The User Upon Creation
Jan 2, 2010I've create a VB2008 app that upon clicking the applications Start button it creates an icon in the taskbar that is visible to the user upon creation, it also shows a balloon tip at the time of creation. This all works great when the program starts but once the balloon tip timeout value has elaped, the icon, in Windows 7, disappears from the visible portion of the taskbar and becomes hidden, which is only visible if the user shows the hidden icons.
My question is this...... In the VB2008 program is there any way to set the behavior of the icon so that it remains visible on the taskbar instead of allowing the icon to become hidden?
The original design of the program was to get an environmental variable, display the value of that variable in the balloontip, hide the form and then check every 10 minutes for a change in that environmental variable. Once the form was hidden the user could see that the program was running by the presence of the icon in the taskbar and if they hovered over the icon it would display the current value of the external variable. Also if the user wanted to return the form to it's full size all they had to do was click on the taskbar icon. With Windows 7 if I hide the form and the icon is not visible in the taskbar because it too is also hiddem this may create a problem for the user as they may not even be aware that Windows 7 hides the icon. So....Is there anyway to insure that the icon remains in the Windows 7 taskbar or is this a case where I need to re-evaluate my program design?
Program Stays In Memory?
Aug 16, 20111. I run a program in VB, then i click X button to close the main form, the program exits.
2. Then I change the code slightly (for example I add MsgBox("abc") and try to run the program.
3. An error appers: "The operation could not be completed..." and then some text in my own language, I try to translate it into english: "...The process cant get access to file, because its been in use by another process"
Hide Program While Using NotifyIcon?
Jan 20, 2011The program goes and "Hides" itself as the very last step (InitializeNotifyIcon - does a close which triggers the Form1_FormClosing), but for some reason it shows back up right after it hides iteslf.Here is my code:
Public Class Form1

Forms :: Program Launcher - NotifyIcon And ContextMenuStrip
Apr 22, 2009Basically, I'm going for a program that has a NotifyIcon and a ContextMenuStrip working together to create a program launcher. I began by adding all the necessary controls and setting the properties. Next I set up StreamReader for a text file I will be using to save program paths. StreamReader and individual lines of text.
I'm essentially in the dark in this area, and for my program, I'm aiming for the NotifyIcon's ContextMenuStrip's buttons(Long title) to display the names or paths of the program. So I need to add individual lines to each button. I thought I would come back to that, so I moved on to the next thing, adding buttons to the ContextMenuStrip.
I have buttons already in place, like Add Program, Remove Program and Programs(for the actual list) but I need to be able to add buttons to those. Kind of like sub-buttons. If that didn't make any sense, I mean like when you hover your mouse over a button and another menu pops up.

View 3 RepliesCall Event When Program Closes?
Jul 2, 2011I'm looking for a more elegant way to work around a problem I have
Code:
Private Sub MnuCheckForUpdates_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MnuCheckForUpdates.Click
Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo(mStartUpPath & "" & "Updater.exe")
Process.Start(startInfo)
End Sub
As you can see I�m calling my updater program, but I want some code to run only after the Updater has closed.My work around was to:
A - Initially load the updater.
B � Start a time
C � Check if the updater is still running.
D � If its not call the routine in the timer event.
But this is not elegant is there another way around this, I can call events in the updater but I don�t think I can join them in someway to ProcessStartInfo Class .
Program Closes But Still Runs In Processes?
Apr 8, 2011I have made a program that has an intro screen, moving onto an activity select screen which acts as the main interface to get around the program. After creating the program and installing it on my computer, when I close the program from the activity select screen, using the "X" at the top right corner, the program continues to run under "processes" in the task manager.If I close the program from the intro screen though, it will close everything, including the processes. Is there anyway I can get the same to happen with the game select screen? I can make it work by putting my own "End" button on the form, but id prefer to be able to do it with forms own close button.

View 14 RepliesExe Closes System.IO.StreamReader Kills Program?
Apr 24, 2011Ok, So I am making a front-end for a program, and it runs the exe with command line arguments. One of those arguments is creating a log file that tells me who the winner is. Currently I have code that runs the app, tell VB when it exits and then does another event. When testing with message box as the other event, works fine.
When running the System.IO.Streamreader the app just closes down on its own and there are no errors shown.

Possible To Make Program 'self-destruct' (delete Itself) When It Closes?
Sep 30, 2010Does anybody know if it's possible to make your program 'self-destruct' (delete itself) when it closes? I know this sounds like malware, but it's not. What happens is the user clicks 'install', the application copies itself to another directory, then the application starts the new copied file, with an argument that begins the installation, kills itself, and then the copied application restarts and then it's done. But I can't get rid of the original executable.
