View 3 RepliesI've written a simple program to hide the taskbar clock and close upon load and I've read a lot of different articles on how to close a program correctly and read a multitude of different answers so I thought I'd just post the code and see if it is written cleanly.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 using the Visual Basic Development settings and I have vista 64-bit. Here's the code:

View 2 RepliesSo heres a image of what I'm trying to do [URL].. My application is a toolbar sort of thing.. I want it to be stuck to the user's taskbar and the '::'s in the example will be draggable areas so they can move the toolbar left and right above the taskbar.

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?

I have written an application in Visual Basic 2010 that I would like to hide from the Task Manager Application Tab, if possible. It's fine if it is listed in the Processes tab.
The purpose of the application is to allow users to postpone a restart following software update installations that require restarts. The application includes a form the user's must interact with so it can't be permanently hidden from view on the desktop. I am basically looking to mimic the WSUS Windows Update dialog which allows users to postpone restarts.
VB6 has app.taskvisible which is no longer included in VB 2010. I have seen a lot of discussion around this topic but no real solutions.

For instance in GDI when you g.CopyfromScreen the mouse is not included and you would have to go through a way drawing the mouse onto the graphic can something like this be achieved with application?
