View 2 RepliesHere's the scenario, winforms application, monitoring via Task Manager Processes Tab.On initial launch spins up to ~61,000K (initial data grid and data loads)If I minimize the application, not touching or doing anything the Mem usage drops to 1,380K.When I restore the application is spins back up to only 5.8K
So my question is, does the minimize send some internal message to clean up resources since the application in question is not in focus?The first app I noticed this in happens to be VB.NET, but I've observed the same behavior in my main C# winform applications.

View 2 Repliesim trying to code minimizer for my game because i usually talk on instant messangers and i have to go back and forth. In addition it takes a while for me to go in the game after talking to my friend. Because of this i thought it would be easier if i can get a program to minimize it so i can talk and play. (when i mean minimizing i mean making it smaller size) I used search and google and it only shows the forms minimizing.

I am currently working on a application with consists of two AppBars (GUI-wise and client-side). I would like to give the user the option to hide/show both AppBar. I am using the standard app bar code as described, for instance, here:[URl]...how this is possible? It would need to be a function like minimize/maximize for standard windows forms, except I am using AppBar windows (don't ask why, I have inherited the code).

I created an app that allows the user to look up pricing and search for items, to help speed up dealing with customer asking for pricing and what not. The form stays atop all windows at the top of the desktop, and is setup, currently, to shrink down (or up in this case) by double clicking on the title bar; I've disabled the minimize and maximize buttons.
How it is setup now is okay, but not as sleek as I want it to be. Is there any way to minimize the form to just the caption bar, like what happens with a command window; it minimizes to the a title bar above the start menu, but I want it to minimize to the top of the screen, almost blending into the title bar of the other open windows. Right now, the form is out of the clients way when minimized, or shrunk up, but it looks kind of lame, with a thin strip of the gray part the form still showing.
I am looking to create an action that will minimize the current window?
