How To Press The Taskbar Buttons
Sep 22, 2010
I have the hwnd of every application active on the desktop and the index of them own taskbar buttons (hwnd1 ==> button index= 1 ; hwnd2 ===> button index = 3 etc etc)
I whould like to press the buttons to activate the applications by VB.net code
I have tried several kind of SetForegroundWindow code found on the web, but the code not always works... often only I obtain to flash incessantly the buttons.
I have tried several kinf of SendMessage code found on the web... no one works.
To simulate the Alt+Tab keys is not a good idea, because appears for some istants the alt+tab window..

I have several windows open: VB, IE, Explorer... If I happen to close one accidentally, or on purpose, and reopen it, the buttons on the task bar are all messed up. I get used to them one way and I am constantly switching between the windows.Here is my question: Would I be able, in VB, to 'hook' the taskbar and be able to rearrange the buttons?I have no idea what to search for in Google. I happened upon a program once a while back, A REAL LIFE SAVER!. I could just click and drag the buttons using that one.

I have a Form with a Textbox (Multilined) a Listbox and 2 buttons. You can insert things in the Textbox and press one of the buttons. That will add the lines of the Textbox to the Listbox.Then you click the last button and it will show you a msgbox for the number value of the Listbox1.Items.Count
Now what i want is that when you click the button it will show you an amount of msgboxes equal to the value of ListBox1.Items.Count.
Its a bit hard to explain but i hope you guys understand.

I am making this thing to fool around, and it has a couple radio buttons, and a "apply" button...
Radio1 say's "A", radio 2 say's "B", and radio 3 say's "C".
All I want to happen is when I choose one of the radio buttons, and press the APPLY button, and I have notepad.exe open, it calls the keyboard key A,B, or C to be pressed. give me an example of keypress? Like IF I PRESS THE KEY 6(^), THEN....

I use a program called Taskix that allows me to grab a button on a taskbar (for programs that are active) and drag it to reorder them. So the functionality exists somewhere, but most obviously through some sort of API.
What I want to do is allow my users to choose if they want a particular window in my program to sort itself to the beginning or end of the taskbar list. I know I want it because I would prefer this particular window to be in front of my opened windows whenever I make it visible.
where I might be able to access an API function that accomplishes this? Finding something like this on Google has proven to be fruitless; for me at least.

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 a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?

What I would like to do is to have four different buttons (e.g., buttonA, buttonB, buttonC and button D). I wanna give the following instruction to the people: press these buttons in the following order: first buttonA, then buttonB, then buttonC and last buttonD. If they obey this instruction then a picture will be displayed, for instance a happy face. All the other combinations will not activate this picture to be displayed, or in other words, there won't be any consequence. I would also like to save this data using windows note pad e.g., writeline (1, xxxxxx). Is there any chance I will make it?

The Finish button will execute the final piece of code.The Cancel button will exit the application.If the user is on the first form, then there is no Back button.If the user is on the last form, then there is no Next button, but there is a Finish button.
Example 1:

The icon on my app should be the one on the taskbar. But its showing up as an older icon I used. I know it's not the icon file. It must be the app itself. What do I do?

Screen.PrimaryScreen doesn't always work because on a multi-monitor setup the user may move his/her taskbar to a screen other than the primary. Finding the screen with minimum working area doesn't work too because there may be monitors with different resolutions.

The title of our forms is Company Name - Application Name - Form Name This makes selecting the form you want on the TaskBar a bit difficult since the Form Name is not shown. We would like the TaskBar caption to be Form Name - Application Name - Company Name or simple Form Name From my searches, this CANNOT be done except by using an invisible form that displays on the TaskBar which calls the visible form that does not display on the TaskBar.

I am developing a windowsforms app in VS 2008. I have set the icon in the project properties. It is a tray application. The icon appears properly in the tray and in the taskbar when the application is maximized, but the icon does not show when I right click on the taskbar icon. There are 3 choices: My Program Name, Pin this program to taskbar, and Close Window. This is a built in context menu, but I have no idea how to get my icon in the first item in the list, which is my program.

If a user has a few of my applications open and he/she minimises them I would like to group these in the task bar like MS Word for example.
Product Name - Application 1
Product Name - Application 2
Product Name - Application 3
Product Name - Application 4
Because all of my applications begin with the product in the Title bar can this be achived.
