VB Application Freezes When Minimized On System Tray

Oct 7, 2009

I have a vb.net program created in VS2008, winforms/desktop application. I have it on a timer event so that every 4 hours it rins some actions. When I minimize the application ot the system tray...after a seemingly random period of time....it will not maximize. It acts frozen however the program still runs and the timer events usually fire on time. I just can't get the main form back up to see the menus and interface with the program. I have tried doevents, refresh, getfocus etc... nothing seems to make it refresh.

Write An Application That Would Start Minimized To The System Tray And Then Assign A Hotkey To This App?

Jun 13, 2011

We run a CRM package and one of the features that it lacks is the ability to Date and Time Stamp when someone updates an activity. I was wondering if it would be possible to write a vb.net application that would start minimized to the system tray and then assign a hotkey to this app, for example CTRL Shift and K, that would paste a date time stamp into what ever application was focused at the time.

.net - Old Instances Of Application In System Tray Notification Area

Feb 20, 2011

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?

Forms :: Create A System Tray Application (service)?

Feb 16, 2009

I'm wanting to develop what I perceive to be a pretty simple application. I want something that runs in the system tray that tests for the presence of a particular file on a network drive. If the file does not exist, the icon in the system tray is a green circle (like a traffic light).If the file DOES exist, then the system tray icon is a yellow circle (caution), until the user clicks it (the yellow system tray icon), and a record is written to another file, then the system tray icon changes to a red (stop) circle until that first file we tested for is gone.I'd also like to create "balloon messages" to go with the changes in the system tray icon.

C# - Send Command To A Application In The System Tray To Launch A Form For Input

Apr 26, 2010

This is what I'm trying to accomplish: I have a Point of Sale application that integrates with a credit card processesor. I wan't to remove any user interfacing logic in regards to the credit card processor in the point of sale and add it to a application that sits in the background or system tray. I want to be able to send a command to the background app to popup a form for user input.

For example: User in the Point of Sale clicks a button "Credit Card" at this point it will send a command to the background app say "ProcessCC" which will pass a transactionid and an amount , this will open a form for the user to enter in the credit card information and submit the payment to the credit card proccessor.

Reason: I need to get a padss certification and don't want to submit the point of sale to do it. Rather send the simple background app that will control any credit card processing functionality such as encryption , storing etc. I know it can be done using sockets but was hopping for an alternative solution.

Formless System Tray App?

Jun 23, 2010

I im trying to find out if it's possible (using VB.net 08 Xpress) to create an application running solely out of the system tray, no forms - Just the icon and popup notifications.I have been considering building a tray based monitoring system for some time, and while I can get the code to work fine, I still need the thing to start up silently. Using Me.Hide() on Form load doesn't work, and I really don't want to work around using the start-up form as a splash page.I have also looked at making a module, but standard vb.net code just aint doing the job.

Get All System Tray Icons?

Mar 22, 2010

I have a problem: I have got an application that is mainly control by a tray icon and I can't show the window unless I click the icon, but the client computer has set the system not to show the icons in the tray area. So can I write a small app to act like a hand-make system tray? That means I have to get all the icons in the tray area and be able to send the mouse events to the icons and let them response to their own program.

Balloon Tip In The System Tray Has Closed?

May 28, 2009

I have an application that uses a NotifyIcon in the tray to hide/restore the application, as well as pop up notices to the user of application events. My application has a notification queue, and I use the NotificationIcon.BalloonTipClosed event to determine when to reset the balloon and show the next notification (if there's one in the queue).

This method seems to work great in both usual causes (user lets the balloon close itself when it times out, and user clicks "X" in balloon to force it to close), but there's a third case where BalloonTipClosed doesn't get called:Notification balloon pops up While it's visible, user right-clicks on notification icon to bring up context menu, causing the balloon to disappear

The BalloonTipClosed event doesn't get triggered in this instance - I figure it's a bug in the framework (I'm using 2.0), but does anybody have an idea around this? If I don't get this event, my application always thinks there's a balloon visible (I have a boolean that prevents it from displaying multiple balloons at once), and it will never show another icon again, as long as it's running.

Click An Icon On The System Tray?

Oct 23, 2009

I'm trying to click on an icon that is in the system tray. I'm sure there is API involved,which i'm sure will work. I Was wondering if there's any kind of code already in Visual Basic, that somehow puts them in an array of some sort. Especially with how sometimes windows will only show active icons. Would be a pain to have to click the arrows to show all icons and then find the icon. Which if it's API, would have to be x/y coordinates.Definitely would be different every time.

So my question is how do you do to enum the windows that have called this function and want to appear in the system tray, whit its icons, and display a menu when you click on them. because i want to do the same that explorer.exe does but whit my own program (shell). Is this a secret?

Display Text In System Tray?

Jul 3, 2009

I have looked on the net for demos of how to display a text message in the system tray, but all I can find are examples which say you need to use trayicons. Where you render your string into a bitmap, and then point the trayicon at the bitmap to display it.

Unfortunately this is no good for what I want to do, the trayicon is limited to only 16x16 pixels, and I want to display a longer message, which will just not fit. I can't resize the size of the icon, and if I make the source bitmap larger, it just gets scaled to fit within the 16x16 space (crushing it together into an awful mess)

So I tried using an array of trayicons and split the bitmap between them, but this also fails, because windows inserts about 3-4 pixels of padding between each tray icon.
