Jan 7, 2011
I'm using VB 2010 and simply want to have a button on the form that says Minimize.I want the form to minimize to the task bar or the notification section .I've looked at other ideas, but the code is for prior versions of VB (2003 and 2005) and some for C #Could you please email me some sample code to handle this?
I'm trying to create a child form that helps the user to enter data for a field in the parent form. I want this child form to be modal, but I don't know what I need to do to make this form modal. Perhaps there's a different type of item I need to use; if so,
In my (VB.Net+VS2008) application, I want to make my windows form (splash) more responsive as there is some complex functionality is performing while loading splash form. Currently when any other application come in front of splash screen and then minimize then splash screen looses its proper visibility and showing some hang kind of state also.

At my school people use the keyboard shortcut (CTRL+Shift+ESC) to open Task Manager. We are not allowed to use it so we get a message box saying that we do not have permission to do that. People hold down the buttons, so that a long line of hundreds of popups open. What code do i need to close all of the popups when a button is pressed?
I'm trying to make a program that will allow people to queue certain tasks at certain intervals. (i.e. the task is done every 15 minutes, etc.) They can make as many tasks as they want, at whatever intervals they want. How can I possibly make a task queue? Like, how can I queue up code that I already have made to be run every so and so often, according to what the user inputs? And, if 2 tasks are started at the same time, they will both still be done, it's just that one will be done as soon as the first one is complete.
I have a simple GUI form to hide / show / minimize / terminate / force terminate Processes. i can do all well but for show and hide i need the MainWindowHandle to show or hide it
So here is hide process code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1)) Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle ShowWindow(hwnd,0)
If i try the same with show code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1)) Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle ShowWindow(hwnd,9)
The MainWindowHandle become 0 cuz its hidden is there is any other way to get the MainWindowHandle of Process ?
When multithreading in VB, if you close the form while different threads are running, the process itself will not end. Is there a way I can force all threads to end, or end the process like in the Task Manager, when the form is closed?

how to minimize MDIchild windows to the StatusStrip...or is there another toolbar object in VB.NET (2008)? I have a menu layered over my MDI Parent window (which is always maximized) and if I minimize another child window, i can't see it anywhere (unless I minimize the menu too, but I took that ability away from the user)... I think I know how to do this through the menustrip at the top of the window (click on open windows....like in excel or word), but I'd like to see the windows minimized in a toolstrip of the MDI parent.
