im trying to code minimizer for my game because i usually talk on instant messangers and i have to go back and forth. In addition it takes a while for me to go in the game after talking to my friend. Because of this i thought it would be easier if i can get a program to minimize it so i can talk and play. (when i mean minimizing i mean making it smaller size) I used search and google and it only shows the forms minimizing.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a program that when I press the X or _ buttons on the form it minimizes to the notification area(system tray). I did find some stuff but didn't understand were to put the code I just have some basic knowledge in VB.net. What I read was something about the formclosing event
Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
e.Cancel = True
'Me.Visible = False
End Sub
and well it sort of works to what I want but don't know were to go from there.. what I read from another post was that I had to do something with "NotifyIcon Class" but still didn't know what to do with that or where to put the code.
Basically what I want the program to do is minimize to system tray and a tooltip will pop up when I hover my mouse over it and display something that I want. Also when I right click the icon I would like some options to be displayed so that I could program it to close.
1) Is it possible to allow a vb 2008 program to run at computer startup. Meaning, one the computer is turned on, it will load up with all the other startup programs so that it is ready to use.
2) I also would like to know if it is possible to have the program minimize down to the tray where all start up programs usually appear. So that instead of it cluttering up the task bar it will be in the tray and when they clcik or double click it, it will open back up.
I have a button that will Minimize the program to the system tray. How would it to look something like the picture on the bottom when the Notify Icon is clicked once or right clicked?

I am currently working on a application with consists of two AppBars (GUI-wise and client-side). I would like to give the user the option to hide/show both AppBar. I am using the standard app bar code as described, for instance, here:[URl]...how this is possible? It would need to be a function like minimize/maximize for standard windows forms, except I am using AppBar windows (don't ask why, I have inherited the code).

I created an app that allows the user to look up pricing and search for items, to help speed up dealing with customer asking for pricing and what not. The form stays atop all windows at the top of the desktop, and is setup, currently, to shrink down (or up in this case) by double clicking on the title bar; I've disabled the minimize and maximize buttons.
How it is setup now is okay, but not as sleek as I want it to be. Is there any way to minimize the form to just the caption bar, like what happens with a command window; it minimizes to the a title bar above the start menu, but I want it to minimize to the top of the screen, almost blending into the title bar of the other open windows. Right now, the form is out of the clients way when minimized, or shrunk up, but it looks kind of lame, with a thin strip of the gray part the form still showing.
I am looking to create an action that will minimize the current window?
