*Resolved* Removing Taskbar Icon In Run-time (NOT System Tray Icon)
I wrote my own mp3 player ('cause Winamp sucks ), and one of the features is a very small, unobtrusive window:
I need to remove the taskbar icon, 'cause it looks dumb with a blank icon among the others.
Anyone have any ideas? All searches keep pointing to system tray icons

Making Taskbar Icon Blink
I am building a personal chat server, and can't for the life of me come up with a way to make a taskbar icon blink, like AIM's. Could anyone give me a hand on this?
Icon In Taskbar And Hand Icon
Hi fellas, couple small questions.
We've got a VB app that when you minimise it it sits in the tray with the nice logo/icon we have given it. Apart from Windows 2000 where we dont get the icon?? Anyone have any ideas?
Second question, We'd like to change the mouse cursor to a hand Icon, the one in the shape of a hand...now we think that that isn't available and may have to create our own cursor..but would like to know..
Thanks

No Form Icon With Taskbar Icon
My form has no visible icon, but when it is shown in the taskbar it has the default Visual Basic icon. How can I change the Visual Basic icon in the taskbar without adding an icon to my form?
Add Icon To Menu WITHOUT Making The Icon Looking Awful?!?
how to add a pic to a menu, without making the pic darker, and partly unrecognizeable.
and why can other apps display 16x16 pics?!(word or vb itself...)
because if you resize the default pics (eg save.bmp) then you cannot recognize the save picture anymore.

Getting MY Icon In Taskbar
When I minimize all forms the icon in the taskbar (systray?) looks like the vb form icon.
In the form's picture property I tried putting a bitmap then I tried an icon. However, the icon that I see when minimized is still the standard icon for a vb form.
How can I get MY icon the appear down there when I minimize?
Thanks.
Icon In Taskbar
I've some code I found somewhere to minimize my app to the system tray, and it works just fine.
But what I've noticed is that there is no taskbar item for it, even if it's not minimized.
Is that a result of the code? and is there any way to show it on the taskbar if it's not minimized?
Many thanks once again.

Icon On Taskbar!
I have a VB6 app which uses 10 Forms. Apart from the start-up Form the other 9 Forms load when a menu item is clicked.
When the app starts & the start-up Form loads, the icon on the Taskbar is shown "depressed" meaning that my app is currently being used by the user. Now when I click a menu item & one of the 9 Forms gets loaded, I find that the icon in the Taskbar no longer remains "depressed" although the user is currently using my app wherein the focus is not on the start-up Form but on some other Form. If the loaded Form is closed i.e. the focus shifts back to the start-up Form, then the icon in the Taskbar again can be seen "depressed". This happens with a MsgBox as well.
So how do I ensure that the icon in the Taskbar always remains "depressed" when the user is working with my app (irrespective of whether the focus is on the start-up Form or on any of the other 9 Forms)?
Please note that all the Forms (of course, other than the start-up Form) are modal.
Taskbar Icon
I want to implement a 'hide' function in one of my programs, basically I would set the visible property of the form to false, so to make the form visible again I was thinking that I could put an icon on the taskbar that the user can click, will this work?

Icon Of Taskbar?
How do you make your program
have an icon on the taskbar
next to your App.title?
Icon In Taskbar
Right, I don't want my form to have a title bar/control box, but I DO want to see the Icon and prog name in the Taskbar. Someone already told me to use SetWindowText API which puts any text you want into the button in the taskbar (which works perfect loike), but how can I put an Icon in there too?

Icon In Taskbar
Hi chaps, I'm going to have another go with this question.
I know there's an API that lets you set the text on the button in the taskbar (and you're all thinking, "hmm, yes, that'll be the Public Declare Function SetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowTextA" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String) As Long API if I'm not mistaken, and I very rarely am.)
So is there one that lets you set the ICON? What I have found in my meddling with a perfectly good (if somewhat bugged) vb6, is that if you turn off the control box, and set the caption of a form to nothing, when you run your prog it shows only an empty button in the task bar. Surely there is a civlised way around this?
Here's hoping....

Icon In Taskbar But Not Alt-Tab
My progam has a Taskbar button available but stubbornly refuses to display in the Alt-Tab listing.
I think the relevant settings are:
Form.ShowinTaskbar = True
Form.BorderStyle= sizable
Form.Icon is default
using
OS is Win2000
VB4 -32
I have a few API calls for Transparency(SetLayeredWindowAttributes) and OnTop (by Matt Hart).
So I have systematically eliminated them as the problem by commenting the code, then compiling and running.
Is it known for FRMs or FRXs to become corrupted?
Thanks
Mike
Taskbar Icon...
I have a form which uses no border. Which means no titlebar, which in turns means that my application's icon is not displayed in the taskbar along with it's title while it is executing. The "Show in taskbar" portion in the form properties window is set to true. For some reason it just looks really tacky without the icon. Can anyone tell me of a method, API or otherwise to make my application show it's icon in the taskbar along with it's title? Thanx in advance...

Icon In The Taskbar
Hello Everybody
I have developed an application which needs to be run 24 hrs a day. The user wants that once the application is executed then , it should just show a icon in the task bar.
When the application is to be used it should show up when the icon is double clicked....other wise just run in the back ground.
Thanks in advance

Making Applications Appear In The Taskbar
Hi all,
I have a large application that utilises various class structures and memory arrays. The program's entry point is Sub Main as there is some preprocessing etc. and the forms are loaded and shown from Sub Main and the garbage collection and de-initialisation is also in Sub Main.
Sounds simple so far, but as all my forms are being called Modally (Don't want to end the program before we get into it!!) there is nothing in the task bar to represent my app. Can somebody tell me the Quick n Easy way of registering a program for the task bar??
Thanks,
ZuluWarrior
Icon In Taskbar / Borderstyle Set To 0
I know that this question has been asked repeatedly on this forum... but wherever I go the thread rarely had a solution.
So I have 1 form with borderstyle set to 0. It's shown in the taskbar already... last thing I want is that it shows an icon in it.
Now I've read that SetWindowLong or GetWindowLong should be used to acquire this... though on MSDN they keep their mouth shut 'bout the taskbar and it's icon when it comes to describing the different attributes.
Am I missing something, or is there another way?
Thx in advance,
Breezer
Edit--> Jut to clarify, I'm not asking 'bout the systray. Have tackled that one.
Icon In Taskbar W/o Titlebar?
I have a program with several non-modal forms. I would like to have an icon for the entire program in the taskbar at all times and yet avoid having a titlebar on the forms. Is there a way to do this?
Form Does Not Have Icon In Taskbar?
Can anyone think of a reason why my form doesn't show up in the Taskbar? It's there in the TaskManager.
I only have the problem with one form in the project.
This form also falls to the back all the time, and since it has no icon, it's very annoying to close all other windows in order to reaccess this form!
Destroy Taskbar Icon
Ok... here is a good question to bust your brains at...
I want to remove the Volume control icon from the taskbar.. you know the one... I was just going to close the window that it opens but i would prefer it if i could destroy the icon.. I am not sure how to identify it though... it has no 'GetWindowText' as such... any ideas?
Taskbar Icon On Startup
Hello,
I am using MBTray (3rd party OCX) to create a taskbar icon. The problem is that when the PC first boots up (the app is an NT service), the icon is not visible. I put in the form load, code to show the icon, however, this does not seem to work. I can not seem to figure out how I can get the icon to stay visible at all times as long as the desktop/taskbar are visible... Can someone help out?
Disappearing Taskbar Icon
Hello all,
Some users of an application I made experience a problem whereby the taskbar icon for the program disappears if they haven't used it for a while. The problem becomes evident when they try to re-launch it, because it gives them an error saying they can only have one instance open at once. This is because although the application isn't showing on the taskbar, it is visible when you press ctrl-alt-del and look in the applications tab on the task manager. The funny thing is, when you highlight the program on the task manager, the program's icon immediately re-appears on the task bar, and you can continue using it as normal.
Over the past couple of years, I have built many systems like this one, and have never experienced a problem such as this - so I am very puzzled at the moment. I've had a search, but couldn't come up with any possible causes, so would appreciate some pointers as to the possible cause.
Thanks for your time

Icon In Taskbar Question.
I've got a form that I have assigned an icon to, and thats fine.
When I ALT/TAB thru my open sessions I was expecting to see this icon displayed for my program, but I don't.
I get the standard white screen with a blue line across the top.
Am I missing a setting on the form somewhere ?
I've looked but can't see anything obvious.

Changing The Icon In Taskbar
hello all, i have a small problem. im working on a chat program which communicates over a network. i want to disguise this program as an actual work-application (word, excel, ie, photoshop,etc.. ). i dont seem to be able to change the icon however (i have the icons, just cant seem to get the program to point to them).
the way it works is that when the program loads it generates a random number. if it is 0 then it will disguise itself as word, if it is 1 then it is photoshop..you get the picture. however, i can only seem to change the caption of the form, not the little icon. any ideas? Tnx!

Caption/Icon And Taskbar ?
Lets say I've got the VB default form1, I add a form icon, add a caption and select show in taskbar to true. I run it and get my currently blank form shown and chosen caption name of the form along with the form icon displayed on the taskbar.
So far so good.
Right, I'm bored with that grey form I want a trendy eye-catching form, easy, I load in the graphic and set borderstyle to 0 - None as I want it displayed completely instead of the form.
Now it looks cool, BUT,,,,, What's displayed down on the taskbar is the name/caption of my form but NOT the icon, where's it gone ?, How can I keep this graphic on my form AND still have borderstyle = 0 BUT keep my icon on the takbar ?
TIA
