Try this

[DllImport("user 32.dll")]
private static extern int FindWindow(stri ng className, string windowText);
[DllImport("user 32.dll")]
private static extern int ShowWindow(int hwnd, int command);

private const int SW_HIDE = 0;
private const int SW_SHOW = 1;

Usage -

int hwnd = FindWindow("She ll_TrayWnd","") ;
ShowWindow(hwnd ,SW_HIDE);

Hi, My VC++ application does not have a titlebar (and therefore no System menu, no minimize, no maximize and no close button). We have a custom button for minimize and close. When the app is in normal/maximized view, clickinng on the taskbar entry does not minimize the application. Normally (with apps with titlebar), the application would minimize when you click on

I know I can fill the screen in VB.NET by starting my window maximized and without a border. My question is; in VB.NET is there a way to enable/disable the taskbar much like doing the "always on top" feature? I would like my program to automatically "hide" the taskbar when running. Thanks. John

Does anyone know how I can hide a form from the TaskManager? I've set the ShowInTaskbar to False, but when using Alt-TAB to switch between applications, it appears as a blank icon. I can set it as a SizableToolWindow, but then I no longer have the minimize button on the caption. Is there a way to mimic a (FormBorder) sizable tool window (so it doesn't appear in the tasklist) and still show the Min, Max and Close control buttons? (Or...

Hello World I have an API here that shows and hides the windows taskbar. My question is ... how can I completely hide the taskbar without a space below? Like setting it to Auto-hide the taskbar on the taskbar properties? When I run this program it seems like the taskbar's opacity=0 or invisible but still it has a little space below. Do you get what I mean? I want to show how is it really looks like but I don't know how to insert an image...

I had a small project based on Qt4, ITK and OpenSceneGraph. It's main function is shown below. int main( int argc, char **argv ) { QApplication app(argc, argv); MainWindow mainForm = new MainWindow(); mainForm.show(); return app.exec(); } There was a problem, however. The window had no taskbar button. I spent quite some time figuring it out, and in the end it all came down to a very stupid difference: main form was instantiated...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
