In Winforms I would create a thread like this:[code]But I can't find a Window.Dispatcher to use this approach in WPF. I also see something about "BeginAnimation" in the Icon Property?

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Wrong Icon Displayed
Feb 13, 2010I had a default Icon I set for my windows form app in the properties section of the form. Since then I have changed to Icon. However, on the Task Bar at the bottom of the screen, if there is more than one form opened and Windows groups them together it displays the old icon image next to the group name. How do I change this to display the new icon image?If I go into the Application settings in the properties of my windows form, it has Icon: of the new icon file. I have changed it here and on the forms themselves. Still, the old icon shows up!

May 22, 2010I'm working on a project with FTPwebrequest methods, the problem is that every time the program executes a FTP command such as download/upload/connect, It completely freezes the form. However I need a progressbar to keep the user updated of the download status. The only way I can see this working is applying the progressbar to a notifyicon(taskbar).

View 4 RepliesVS 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?

View 6 RepliesApplication Icon Image Doesn't Show In Taskbar In "small Icon" Setting
May 4, 2011I 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.

Dec 21, 2010I am developing a windowsforms app in VS 2008. I have set the icon in the project properties. It is a tray application.

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.

Mar 7, 2012I've been playing around with Windows 7 taskbar thumbnail previews. I've noticed that some Microsoft applications are able to set thumbnail images which have transparency in background. I've been trying all out and not been able to achieve this.
I've set a picturebox control having PNG with transparency as thumbnail preview, doesnt work. I tried creating a new bitmap and loading from Icon file having transparency and setting it as preview but still doesn't work. It keeps showing the background color of the form window.
This is what Microsoft apps are able to acheive:

Make Application To Be At Tray Icon Just Next To Time Displayed On Right Bottom Corner Of Task Bar?
May 31, 2009I found some great code on capturing webcam images but the problem is the client PC will need to initiate the communication to this server (click Connect to server IP). This is like 2 way communication.How can i do something like this (door Kiosk system):when a visitor press a button on the LCD that come along a web cam (this will be the server), it will send the signal the client PC that is installed with the application i've created (window form) and pop up the images to the client PC (more like a 1 way communication). This image is captured through the web cam on the server to capture the visotor's image waiting outside of the door. How to do this?I'm really stuck as i'm not familiar with window API programming yet.
1) how to do the mentioned 1 way communication? possible in .NET?
2) how to make my application to be at the tray icon just next to the time displayed on the right bottom corner of the task bar? When a visitor press a button o the server, it will pop up a window form on the client PC showing the image captured via the server's webcam outside of the door.
When Left Clicking Notify Icon On System Tray For Context Menu, Blank Form Shows In Taskbar?
Jul 3, 2010Simply saying I've added an Notify Icon to my project and then added context menu showing up when the left mouse button is pressed. The problem is that with the context menu some blank form is showing in the taskbar. There is no such form within the project.Does anyone know why it may be happening or how to get rid of the effect? I might add that I have other context menu attached for mouse right click button and it works fine, no blank forms and such showing on the taskbar it's just the left mouse button that works that way.Here is the code that I am using to show the menu:(the visible state to false is necessary for the other menus not to pop up with the one i want... unless anyone knows better method)
Private Sub NotifyIcon_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon.Click
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
