Make Application To Be At Tray Icon Just Next To Time Displayed On Right Bottom Corner Of Task Bar?
May 31, 2009
I found some great code on capturing webcam images but the problem is the client PC will need to initiate the communication to this server (click Connect to server IP). This is like 2 way communication.How can i do something like this (door Kiosk system):when a visitor press a button on the LCD that come along a web cam (this will be the server), it will send the signal the client PC that is installed with the application i've created (window form) and pop up the images to the client PC (more like a 1 way communication). This image is captured through the web cam on the server to capture the visotor's image waiting outside of the door. How to do this?I'm really stuck as i'm not familiar with window API programming yet.
1) how to do the mentioned 1 way communication? possible in .NET?
2) how to make my application to be at the tray icon just next to the time displayed on the right bottom corner of the task bar? When a visitor press a button o the server, it will pop up a window form on the client PC showing the image captured via the server's webcam outside of the door.
Im trying to make a form popup on the bottom right hand corner of my screen to display a message when the application opens.I know i can set the location in the properties but that may vary depending on the monitor the application is displayed on, how can i code it so that it can detect were the bottom right hand corner of any screen is ?
My FormLoad event contains a simple line which is Me.Hide. Then I make the tray icon visible so the application can be shown if the user needs it. However, the Me.Hide statement doesn't work during the form load procedure. It seems to work fine after the form has been loaded. So, my question is, how can I simply stop the form from becoming visible in the first place or hide it after it has loaded?
I'm using this code to minimize my application:[code]How do I make it minimize in the bottom right corner of the screen rather than the right? The only thing I tried asked for a pixel value. If someone uses a different resolution from me I need it to work for both of us.Oh, also, when I click on it minimized it opens a menu as if it was right clicked. Can I fix that?

my program has a tray icon and i want it to show up in the system tray. so i went into my windows notification area and set it to show icon for my app. But when my app update to a new version with clickonce, it will think its a new app and i have to set it again. Is there a way that it will treat all new version as the same program and i dont have to keep setting it?

I have an issue with the icon displayed on the desktop. I have used the project's properties, application form and used the dropdown menu under icon to associate an Icon to the application. I have done this loads of times before and it has always worked.
is it possible to make one application send a task to another application and recieve the result from that secondary app?i made a text editor program and i added a scan feature and i made another app that has ocr capabilities.The scanner ability is in my text editor program, the ocr program doesnt scan you have to input an image into it and it will give text result a few seconds later.the prob is alot of times the ocr code uses sooo much memory and crashes when its incorporated with my text editor, but individually each application works fine and doesnt take too much memory. Memory wont be even an issue if the ocr program is standalone so that when it is done decoding image the application can be made to exit. now here is the question, how do i make my text editor send the image to the ocr program and how do i make my ocr program send the text back to my text editor? is it possible? i mean the only way i know off is creating temp files in a certain folder and having a timer on each program that keeps waiting for temp files. That just seems like pretty lame coding to me i was wondering if there's a better way?
How do you go about putting your app in the system tray or pinning to the task bar (as in Windows 7)?How do you become part of the right-click menu on the desktop or files - like you see various zip archive tools?

I have been working on my project for the finals but i need to add something on the project. I need to add bottom for " Start New Game" And I need also to make label for how many time X, O win .Here is The Code

This is a task panel made from 3 others open source code that I combined. It already has some docking ability, hiding ability, resizing and moving but there are some problems it wont dock top and bottom without getting confused with left and right. When 1 panel docks another panel will dock on the side of it not the parent container. It needs some kind of splitter container to be able to dock into if you have 2 panels or more docked on the same side but still being able to drag out of it and move somewhere else. So who wants a challenge here is the link to all the files [URL]
I'm trying to click on an icon that is in the system tray. I'm sure there is API involved,which i'm sure will work. I Was wondering if there's any kind of code already in Visual Basic, that somehow puts them in an array of some sort. Especially with how sometimes windows will only show active icons. Would be a pain to have to click the arrows to show all icons and then find the icon. Which if it's API, would have to be x/y coordinates.Definitely would be different every time.
I am doing my project in vb.net 2008. When I minimize my running windows application its icon must be minimized and fit in system tray. And when we doing some other works in our system (such as video playing or other working) my windows application must works in background.
I've been successful with this in VB6. The VS2005 notifyicon class is certainly much nicer and much improved.I've implemented a notifyicon and it's working as expected with one exception.
recently been working on an application and added a minimize to tray feature. An update to the program made it so I could run multiple instances of the application without them interfering with each other. Which is great and what I had planned. BUT now when more than 1 instance of the application is running I have two notify(tray)icons on the system tray.My question is how, if its even possible, would I make both minimize into the same tray icon and just add a contextmenuitem to the right click menu (listing the name of the windows that are minimized). I hope thats not too confusing.I know how to add the contextmenuitems that won't be an issue once I can figure out how to get the windowstate of the other instance of the application.
instance1\..................................................._open instance1.windowcaption ...............\_______trayicon>contextmenu__/__open instance2.windowcaption .............../................................................\___close all instances
how to create a contextmenu for system tray icon vb? Where can I find an example of it? I am building a service with a system tray icon to start pause and stop it however I don't seem to be able to display the contextmenu on click event. Do I need a form for the context menu?
how to create the contextmenu near the system tray icon that i've created? the current contextmenu will always "run" to certain position. How to do that? especially the second parameter of the following:
Me.contextMenu1 = New System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu Me.menuItem1 = New System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem Me.menuItem2 = New System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem Initialize contextMenu1
[Code]...
Me.contextMenu1.Show(Button1, New Point(0, 0)) .NET not allow the control to be the notifyicon, so i added a button.hOW to make sure that the contextmenu always firm on one position , ie, at the system tray icon that i've created. Once i click on the icon, it will show this contextmenu.
