Im wanting to develop a little program that displays the items I have in the taskbar and Im able to sort them to how I want and thats how the show up on the taskbar. Know what I mean?here would I get started with this or is there already something out there?
View 2 RepliesI have a program which runs mainly though a NotifyIcon in the bottum right of my windows screen (XP). Whenever I open the ContextMenuStrip that appears when the icon is right clicked, a box also appears in the task bar. I also have nested menus inside the menu (mouse over one item leads to another menu), and each additional menu also creates a taskbar box upon appearing. So once I am at the third or fourth nested menu, there would be 3 or 4 windows appearing in the taskbar. After the menu disapears, so do the windows in the taskbar.How can I stop the taskbar from displaying boxes to represent these menus? I have done nothing in my code as far as I know to create this type of behavior. I have searched for similar problems but have found nothing similar. There is no "showintaskbar" property for these items as far as I can see, and no other property that I can find which would affect this. I have investigated the owner of the contextmenustrip since I read the owner may effect these type of behaviors, but that doesnt seem to be helpful as there isn't an owner property of the contextmenustrip.
View 2 RepliesI wanted to basically rearrange the alphabet with a keyword infront as I am doing a simple substitutional cipher. I have kind of worked out the logic of doing that but I am a bit stuck on the coding side.
What I wanted was something like:Dim key = "keyword"
For i = 0 to 26
'insert keyword and put in A to Z after without duplicating characters

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?

View 1 RepliesThe title of our forms is Company Name - Application Name - Form Name This makes selecting the form you want on the TaskBar a bit difficult since the Form Name is not shown. We would like the TaskBar caption to be Form Name - Application Name - Company Name or simple Form Name From my searches, this CANNOT be done except by using an invisible form that displays on the TaskBar which calls the visible form that does not display on the TaskBar.

View 4 RepliesI am developing a windowsforms app in VS 2008. I have set the icon in the project properties. It is a tray application. The icon appears properly in the tray and in the taskbar when the application is maximized, but the icon does not show when I right click on the taskbar icon. There are 3 choices: My Program Name, Pin this program to taskbar, and Close Window. This is a built in context menu, but I have no idea how to get my icon in the first item in the list, which is my program.
