Sep 8, 2010Right now I'm drawing a small 16x16 image on the title bar of my window. It works nicely, except for an obnoxious flicker that I cant figure out how to get rid of. I'm simply drawing the image like this:
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)
If m.Msg = WM_SIZE Then
wnd_size = New Size(New Point(CInt(m.LParam)))[code]....
Its repainting the entire title bar each time something is changed on it(click, mouseover the corner buttons, etc), and its during the repaint I get the flicker.

C# - Winform Application, Does Window Minimize Force Garbage Collection?
Feb 8, 2011Here'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 6 RepliesWinforms - Get Second Active Window?
Dec 17, 2011I need to create a form where AlwaysOnTop = True when the browser is visible. This creates some sort over "overlay". The logic works like this:
The program checks which window is active.If the active windows is a certain process, my form will initialize the TopMost utility, and be the active window itself. When the certain process is not the active window anymore, my form will disappear.
[Code]...
My program checks if a browser is the active window, if so: the form gets topmost and the program stops checking what the active window is. (because my topmost form is the active window now).Now the program needs to check what the window under my form is, the second active window. If it's not the browser anymore, the form needs to hide, and the program will check what the active window is again.
I already completed the function that checks what the first active window is, I'm stuck on getting the function that checks what the second active window is.

Switch Form Between Full Screen No Taskbar And Sizable With Taskbar?
Mar 29, 2011I have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then
Me.ControlBox = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?
