View 1 RepliesI am having an applciation running in system tray notification area, but the problem is that although I exit the application the icon is still there, when I point my mouse near notification area it's gone as it should be when I clicked on exit. I guess it is because my mouse position makes the area to refresh, if so, how can I do it inside my application to avoid having my useless icon in there?

In my notification area on my taskbar I always see pop up messages from programs. How do i do this, when I add notifyicon to my form it just put the icon there but no pop up message of my choice.
View 3 RepliesI'm wondering if anyone can point me to any documentation for interacting with the taskbar notification area(system tray)? Note I am not looking to make an application that shows in the taskbar notification area, as I already know how to do this, but rather how to get information and interact with what is already there.

View 13 RepliesI'm trying to write a very basic program in VS 2008 (VB.NET 2.0) that will help me to quickly set up new servers. One of the things I want the program to do is hide the "Volume" and "Network" system icons. I cannot find where that setting is or a way to programmically change it.
View 7 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.
How do I can put a text (shift the icon image) on notification icon alredy put it on system tray (near clock place) using Visual Basic 2010?

i like my application to start and goto system tray from begining from where i show or hide my main application form. To implement this i create 1 form named "FRM_main" and 1 Class named "MainClass" then define a procedure in MainClass which is as follow.
[code]Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim FRM_main As Form = New Form
FRM_main.Show()
End Sub[/code]
and set Title, Size and location of form at design time.but i didn't get the desired result. my application didn't start and goto system tray as inteded.i also try coding the FormLoad Event to ME.Hide but it also doesn't work so how do i do this?
I am developing an app that uses a sql backend database (hosted on a different machine).The app I am developing will be run on 10 different workstations simultaneously.Sometimes the app will change the database in such a way that the database needs to initiate a workflow process and I'm not sure of the best way to do this.Also, when database changes happen, how does one best notify the other app instances that the change has happened, so they know to refresh their data? I was thinking that triggers could help initiate the workflow but it might be nice to develop the actual workflow in .net code.Should I write another App to run as a service on the server and do the work and also to tell the client apps when things change?
View 1 RepliesI want to do is make a notification system, kind of like aim were a new little box will show up to alert the user of a couple different things.
This is how far i have gotten :
Dim popups As ArrayList
Public Sub newEvent(ByVal title As String, ByVal description As String)
popups.Add(New Form())
[CODE].........
I use an arraylist because i dont know how many messages will come around the same time, but i could switch to an array if i must. this is the form that i made as kind of a template :

Its just got a couple text boxes for now. how can i make these new forms every time i have a new message to display and the clean up after them when they are done.
I need to create a notification system for my application that will alert the user once new items have been sent to their queue, which is made of up database entries. The latter part of this question may need to be asked in the database forum, but I guess we'll figure that out First, since I haven't created anything like this before, I need some direction on what the best possible solution would be.The notification system should always be running and work independently of the main app. With this requirement, I thought a Windows Service would be best.
The notification itself will just be a quick form that alerts the user. I'm sure most of that will be fairly easy to create. The only issue I'm wondering about is how to constantly check the database and determine a new record has been inserted.Would a windows service have a timer or something that allows me to constantly check?If it does, how would I determine a new record has been inserted?
A form within a form? So it can minimize maximize in there own container.
Also if the server trace minimizes the other form expands.
I am not a computer programmer and I have never used Visual Basic before but I have to take a class about using it. I am trying to make a simple Area calcutor but what it is telling me in my book to do isn't working.
View 1 RepliesI've search for hours on Google but could find a solution.want a clickable area (that can handle MouseClickEvent, DoubleClickEvent, etc...) that is transparent, hence you can look through it.For example:I have Form1 with a bunch of buttons, text fields, etc. I want a clickable area that is over the whole Form1 (thus over all the buttons, etc).If you click this area, the clickEvent for this area should be could and not the eg: button underneath this area.Most importantly of all the area must be transparent, thus all the buttons, textfields, etc underneath the clickable area should be visible. Something like a panel or pictureBox that you could put over the buttons would be ne, but a if you drag a panel/pictureBox over a button, the button is invisible, and if you say send to back, the event of the button will be called and not that of the clickable area.
View 14 RepliesI have this code which when I run the program and click on the btnReturn the form actually minimises to the taskbar. What I have noticed is that yellow and green lines have appeared next to the btnReset section and all the way to the end of the code and that the last line (private sub fmmxxxxload) had disappeared, which I replaced. Now when I run the program it still minimises rather than appears on screen. If I click on it in the taskbar, the correct form is displayed.

I've been working with System.Drawing for awhile and like to think I have a good handle on it; I've created classes that draw grids, write text in gridboxes and rectangles, convert rectangles to circles, fill areas with color, etc. What I don't have is any sense of artistry at all, and I don't have the slightest clue how one would use System.Drawing to draw a rectangle and then color/slope the edges so that it looks like a System.Windows.Forms.Button would, or how to make it look like it's inset deeper than the surrounding Form, like setting a Panel's BorderStyle to Fixed3D.
View 3 Repliesi have a program with the ability to save view and scan images. i am currently working on making work area's. so i have two list box's. listbox one is for the image area name. listbox2 is to list the pages in selected image area (mouse click). i have created the form to show you and i will post a link below. i have started trying to do it but have got stuck. i use an input box to give the image area's names. but thats as far as i have got at the min.
i need to be able to make image area's and list/view the images in my picturebox. plus i would like to create a folder or how ever many the user makes behind the scene thats called whatever the image area is called and in that folder is the images the user has saved in that folder. sorry if this is hard to understand. i have asked on another forum but i didnt get what i wanted it to do.

i have gave you a link so you can see what my form looks like so you have a slight understanding on what i want it to do. its work in progress so sorry if it looks rubbish.
by the way i can save an image but it only saves it one certaint place and i cant save more thasn one as it replaces the image. and as for the scanned image thats the same.
