VS 2008 Restore App From System Tray Using Shortcut Keys?

May 26, 2011

I'm trying to build an application that when I press a keyboard shortcut, say CTRL + ~, if the window is minimized to the system tray it is displayed.

I have seen a few programs do this and have always wondered how to do this, but haven't had the opportunity to do learn it until now and I really don't know if its something simple or complex.

VS 2008 Single Instance System Tray?

Jan 3, 2012

A nice quick one I was wondering if anyone know the answer two (was shown a rough way to do this in vb6 but that was a long time ago)I have an application running in the system tray which I want as single instance (and currently have set as single instance)

However if someone double click on on the Desktop Icon or Startmenu Icon etc I want the main menu form to appear (frmMainMenu). Is it possible so that if opening the app when its already running triggers an invent in first instance rather than creating a new instance?

VS 2008 - Use An Icon In The System Tray To Let Interact With A Windows Service

Sep 24, 2009

I've seen loads of programs that use an icon in the system tray to let you interact with a windows service that is running on your machine but I am curious as to how this works. As I understand it, unless a service marks itself as 'interactive' then it has no way to communicate with the user's desktop and doing so is discouraged by MS (and even causes an alternate desktop to appear temporarily in Server 2008 in some cases). So I want to try and avoid doing this but I cant think how else I would do it, and even if I marked my service as interactive I'm not too sure how I could actually get it to show a notification icon in the system tray.

I assume I would have to use Windows APIs, unless just using the windows forms NotifyIcon class would work. I considered just having the system tray icon in a totally separate application that just communicates with the service via named pipes or TCP etc but I'm pretty sure this isnt how other programs do it because with most of them if you just kill the process that the service is running in then the icon disappears so it must actually be directly running from the service.

Shortcut Keys Not Working?

Feb 16, 2010

I have an application which I am trying to implement shortcut keys in. The application contains a main window from which dialog popups can be opened. I am having difficulty implementing the shortcut key functionality on the popup windows. I have the following code in one of the popup windows, and even though the first three key entries are the exact same as on the main window (except for the actual button names), which works, the same code does not work on the popup.

Private Sub frmInduction_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Control + Keys.S Or e.KeyCode = Keys.F5 Then
btnAccept.PerformClick()

[code]....

I am opening the popup window with the following code- is there any way that the problem could be caused by how I am opening the popup?

Using frm As frmChangeValue = New frmChangeValue
frm.ShowDialog()
End Using

Using The MenuStrip ShortCut Keys?

Sep 22, 2008

I'm having a spot of trouble working out how menustrip yet again.I have an MDI project. A child form contains a menustrip that has shortcut keys defined... F1 through F4 at design time. At run-time the child form menustrips are merged into the MDI parent form menustrip.The Function keys do not cause the menu to drop down. *Frutz* I thought okay. I'll use the control's keypress event to trap the F1 key and cause the menu item to drop down Apparently the menu Item is not available in the child form since it was merged to the MDI parent menustrip...*Frippity Frutz* Okay... Call the MDI parent menustrip from the child form...."No menustrip object found".

How To Disable Menustrip Shortcut Keys

Jul 16, 2009

I have a VB 2008 form with about a dozen buttons that use ALT+key shortcuts, e.g. names beginning &S, &N, etc. I also have a menustrip with a couple of entries but I have not assigned shortcut keys to any of them. However, three of the entries on the menustrip begin with S, N, and E. The result is that the shortcut keys for those buttons don't work - instead the shortcut activates the menustrip item. For example, ALT+E brings up the Exit on the menustrip instead of activating the button with the &E... label. I even tried setting the shortcut for the menu item to something totally different, but it doesn't matter.Even though I have programmed something different, the menu strip takes precedence on the shortcut. is there any way to just disable shortcut keys on the menustrip? What I've done for now is alter the names of my menustrip items by numbering them, e.g. "5 Exit" instead of "Exit" so that ALT+5 does the exit and leaves ALT+E for the button I want it to be associated with.

I've read you just click in the shortcut keys option then press the buttons you want to be your shortcuts- this however just acts like I'm pressing the shortcut keys for vs. for instance alt x, which I want to be exit, takes me to debug. Typing alt + x in manually gives me an error saying what I've put in is invalid.
