Application appearance

Hi,

How do i prevent an application from appears more than once in the ALT+TAB
menu.

As it is today, my application will show an icon for each window visible in
the running application. I only want one icon.

Thank you in advance.

The "ShowInTask bar" attribute of the form controls this. Set it to
false for all
windows you don't want to show in the task bar.

Hm. Other than making it a toolbar window (FormBorderStyl e to
FixedToolWindow or SizeableToolWin dow), I'm not really aware of any
simple way to do this.

I have upgraded an extensive solution to VS 2005 from VS2003 ... no problems. I notice that in VS2005, the forms, when viewed in design mode, have a different appearance than they did in 2003, i.e. different fonts / buttons have different appearance, etc.. I find the 2005 appearance ("Theme") more attractive and modern looking. When I RUN the app, however, the forms take on their "old" appearance, i.e.

I have a form which I'd like to display as a sizable dialog box. The behavior I get when I use FormBorderStyle = SizableToolWindow is perfect. However, when I use that option, the title bar of my form gets much smaller. The discrepancy really stands out, and looks like a bug. I anticipate that someone will tell me that the different title bar is intentional -- that showing a different title bar is Windows' way of visually distinguishing...
