May 31, 2008I've looked all over the internet and did a search on Dreamincode.net but I can't find anything on minimizing to the tray for Vb 2008.What I want to achieve is if the user hits the "X" button at the top, the application should minimize to the tray. When I right-click on the icon, a context menu strip should appear.

View 2 RepliesMinimize Program To Notification Area(system Tray)
Dec 11, 2009I'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.

Feb 28, 2010I want to create an application for cyber cafe which I thought should be as follows :-
1. My app starts with windows and is hidden in the system tray.
2. When IE starts my app gives a popup that your time has started at "Whatever the time at the moment would be".
3. When user closes its time is calculated in a Msgbox.
The problem is how to check if the users opens another IE window while working and add the bill to the same user. To reset the timer when i.e., is closed by first user and second user starts operating. How to start the app with windows and that too in system tray.
VS 2008 - Use An Icon In The System Tray To Let Interact With A Windows Service
Sep 24, 2009I've seen loads of programs that use an icon in the system tray to let you interact with a windows service that is running on your machine but I am curious as to how this works. As I understand it, unless a service marks itself as 'interactive' then it has no way to communicate with the user's desktop and doing so is discouraged by MS (and even causes an alternate desktop to appear temporarily in Server 2008 in some cases). So I want to try and avoid doing this but I cant think how else I would do it, and even if I marked my service as interactive I'm not too sure how I could actually get it to show a notification icon in the system tray.
I assume I would have to use Windows APIs, unless just using the windows forms NotifyIcon class would work. I considered just having the system tray icon in a totally separate application that just communicates with the service via named pipes or TCP etc but I'm pretty sure this isnt how other programs do it because with most of them if you just kill the process that the service is running in then the icon disappears so it must actually be directly running from the service.
Notify Icon/Minimize To Tray?
Jun 13, 2010recently 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

VS 2008 Minimize Other Applications To Tray

The user has to be able to put some inputs into these other apps, but after that I'd like to have a button they can push on my app that minimizes all of these other apps under one icon I can choose. When the icon is clicked, these other apps would jump back up again.

Apr 16, 20091) 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.
Displaying System Tray Contents In A Form?
Jun 21, 2010I'm working on a desktop replacement project and was wondering if it possible to have a form which can be docked to the side of the screen that contains all the task tray icons and functions (I would imagine that the functions are held within the task tray/icons themselves as they act as little programs) and would update automatically whenever anything is added.
Also, I'd like it not to have a taskbar entry while running, just having it sit there on the screen until needed.

View 2 RepliesIDE :: Toolstrip Dialog Objects Do Not Appear In Component Tray In Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional On A Windows 7 System
Oct 5, 2011I am running Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows 7 system.While working on a visual basic exercise in chapter 4 of the Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step book on the MyMenu program I added a Toolstrip to my form and then I was trying to perform the add OpenFileDialog and ColorDialog controls to the component tray as described at the bottom of page 111 under Using Dialog Box Controls. I could never get the controls to appear in the component tray as instructed in the book.
I added a toolstrip to the form. According to my instructions I should be able to click on the Open file icon on the toolstrip to select it and then click anywhere else on the form. When I do that, the OpenFileDialog should appear on the component tray where I can then select it to enter code. This however does not happen.The only way I was able to get them to appear in the component tray was by opening the Menu program supplied on the DVD under chapter 4, selecting both of the above controls on the component tray, right clicking and then press copy. I then closed the Menu program and opened the MyMenu program that I created and then I was able to paste the two object controls to the component tray.
I went back to the original Menu program to see if I was able to place any other controls on the component tray by following the instructions in the book but was not able to. I also tried the same thing with MyMenu and it also still would not work.I have been unable to find anything that might explain why the component tray does not work as explained. Perhaps there is some setting somewhere that needs changed, but all searches have been unsuccessful.
PS. I have entered this on one of the other MicroSoft forums and although it has gotten multiple views I have not yet received any feedback.I also get the following error: Cannot add component of type 'ToolStripButton' to container of type 'form'.
C# - Send Command To A Application In The System Tray To Launch A Form For Input
Apr 26, 2010This is what I'm trying to accomplish: I have a Point of Sale application that integrates with a credit card processesor. I wan't to remove any user interfacing logic in regards to the credit card processor in the point of sale and add it to a application that sits in the background or system tray. I want to be able to send a command to the background app to popup a form for user input.
For example: User in the Point of Sale clicks a button "Credit Card" at this point it will send a command to the background app say "ProcessCC" which will pass a transactionid and an amount , this will open a form for the user to enter in the credit card information and submit the payment to the credit card proccessor.
Reason: I need to get a padss certification and don't want to submit the point of sale to do it. Rather send the simple background app that will control any credit card processing functionality such as encryption , storing etc. I know it can be done using sockets but was hopping for an alternative solution.

Jul 3, 2010Simply saying I've added an Notify Icon to my project and then added context menu showing up when the left mouse button is pressed.

I might add that I have other context menu attached for mouse right click button and it works fine, no blank forms and such showing on the taskbar it's just the left mouse button that works that way.Here is the code that I am using to show the menu:(the visible state to false is necessary for the other menus not to pop up with the one i want... unless anyone knows better method)

Jun 23, 2010I im trying to find out if it's possible (using VB.net 08 Xpress) to create an application running solely out of the system tray, no forms - Just the icon and popup notifications.I have been considering building a tray based monitoring system for some time, and while I can get the code to work fine, I still need the thing to start up silently. Using Me.Hide() on Form load doesn't work, and I really don't want to work around using the start-up form as a splash page.I have also looked at making a module, but standard vb.net code just aint doing the job.
