C# - How To Make NotifyIcon To Always Show And Will Not Be Hide By Windows Itself
Jul 19, 2010
I try using Icon.Visible = True. But it will only show icon in the taskbar for a brief period of time before Windows will hide it automatically. How to programmatically make show icon permanently?
The effect is the same as doing it manually, by click on task bar icon button -> Customize Notifications and set behavior to = "Always Show / Always Hide / Hide when inactive" for each taskbar icon on the list.
I want to make an application that only has a notifyicon and doesn't have any visible window form when it starts up. I see some example sort of like what I want to do for c#, but I don't see how to do this in vb.net project.
The program goes and "Hides" itself as the very last step (InitializeNotifyIcon - does a close which triggers the Form1_FormClosing), but for some reason it shows back up right after it hides iteslf.Here is my code:
Public Class Form1 Private contextMenu1 As System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu Friend WithEvents menuItem As System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem
I'm currently coding a multi-form project that requires a NotifyIcon. The first form is the Login form which then opens a 'logging-in' form and then finally another form (they're all opened using FormName.ShowDialog() and they hide themself before opening the next form).Login Form -> Logging In Form -> Final Form.When the final form is opened, the NotifyIcon's visible property is set to true and it appears in the tasktray like normal. But when I use Me.Hide on the final form, the NotifyIcon disappears with the form.Any ideas about what is going on? The program still runs in the background despite no forms are visible (which is how it's intended to be) but without a NotifyIcon, there's no way of making the forms appear again.
How do I get rid of the configure icon shown in attached screenshot It opens up the windows taskbar area icon configure window where you config all the
icons shown in the taskbar. Cannot find any property to disable this.
What is this called so I can google for this ? Nothing on msdn.

I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?
i have a combobox that has 3 cases. case "0" opens a dialog saying, "Not a valid choice"but case "1" and case"2" open up there own separate forms. (FormMain and Form3)How do i make it so if Form3 is open FormMain Can not be opened, And a messagebox appear saying so. I do not just want the ".hide" function. I already have that set.I have tried a few differant things, none of which worked. And i tried them in the formload and in the combobox selected index
how to hide exe into task-manager in windows 7 using vb.net windows application?I want exe is hide into task-manager in windows 7 & windows vista machine using vb.net(windows application)
how i can make a button (UpdateBtn) in my toolstrip Act like a NotifyIcon so i can use the BalloonTip features i have looked on goggle all over and cant find a single thing about it (unless im looking for the wrong thing) im thinking it either cant be done or no one has bloged about it yet
I'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?
I have a problem to show and hide some div. The only thing i have is a span with a class. Where we need to click on, to show or hide the div below the parent h2 I can't add some classe's to the h2 or div (this come from some cms, where we can't add a css class), so we need to do it with some jquery.
<div> <h2> <span class="h2toggle">Heading (This shows an hide the div below)</span> </h2>
Just playing around with VB and have made a program for playing "pairs". The program displays lots of face down cards, then the user can click on them to reveal their face and try to find pairs. This is done by hiding or showing the "card reverse" picture
If the user finds a pair, the cards should stay face up, however if they do not match, they should be returned to facing down.
The pictures need to be loaded dynamically through an array...
The code I have so far is as follows...
Form1...
Code: Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I want to create a button that can hide an exe application. As example: this application will start spider.exe when page loads. I need a button that can hide & show the spider.exe. How can I do it with VB.NET, C#, or Java?
i was wondering this: what is the difference as in response.. should i use the .visible or the .show/.hide option.. by setting the .visible to true/false, the controls (in my case) will only appear visible or not.. by setting them to .show./hide, i guess they unload from the form, and reload in their previous state.. do correct me on this .. is this more memory use than the .visible option or the other way? i am currently designing a project containing a lot of panels/buttons/etc., that has the .visible option included for these controls. should i be using the .show/.hide option instead, or does it even make a difference, since i cannot tell from the response of my project when using either/or..

I'm building a console application. How can i hide the window for like 10 seconds and then show it again? This code is only working on a form not a console application:
Private Sub FavoritesToolStripMenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FavoritesToolStripMenuItem1.Click FavoritesToolStripMenuItem1.Visible = False
I want to add an option to my windows form application (written in vb.net) that will give the user the option to hide the menu bar and the title bar. I can do the menu but i'm not sure what the best way is to hide the title.
I could just change the FormBorderStyle to none, but is that the best way of doing it?
