You give up to quickly!!! I also posted in vb.enteprise. Note my reply
below:
I FIGURED IT OUT. Below you will find the code. Y0ou may want to post this
as a sample.
Note the lines in New, Load, and Menuitem Click are all neccessary.
Otherwise you ALT-TAB will start off, or form visible, or MenuItem Click
will not display it the first time.
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
Me.Visible = False
Me.Hide()
End Sub
Private Sub MenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem1.Click
Me.Show()
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
Me.Visible = True
Me.ShowInTaskbar = True
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Hide()
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
Me.Hide()
End Sub
End Class
