I have a single threaded application in c# that scans through a file system.
While doing this if I try to minimize, maximize buttons on the top,right
hand corner of my form do not do as they are supposed to do. To maximize the
window I have to go to "task manager" and double click the application.
How do I control those maximize, minimize buttons on the top right section
of my form?

Why don't you do the work on a background thread to keep your UI
responsive?

Hi jj,
the control box buttons should work without any intervention from you. I
suspect that they work before you start your scan (not mentioned) and after.
This probably means that you are doing a lot of intensive processing in the
main UI thread which is in charge of handling UI requess. The main UI thread
does not get chance to process the UI messages while your intensive
processing is going on so the UI becomes unresponsive. The solution is to
move your processing in to a new thread, not the main UI thread, this way the
main UI thread is still free to handle requests during the intensive
processing. For a great tutorial on this check out: http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/...winforms.shtml
This should answer all of your questions.
Hope that helps

hi all,
i was wondering how is it possible to add an extra box ( i think they are
called boxes: upper right corner ...) in a form that will minimize it in the
system tray?
You know some applications have a 4th one (apart from the square , bar and
X ) which contains a dot and once u click it minimizes the application to
the tray.
TIA

without the ability to close minimize or maximize the form like a default
page.

Hello all,
Is there a way I can get into a form's close/minimize/maximize events when
those buttons (the 3 small squared button in the upper right corner of a
form) are clicked? For example, after a user makes changes on the data on
the form and clicks on the form's Close button (instead of updating the
datasource first), I want the program to run the update routine first, then
close the form.
All helps are greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm creating my own Sidebar (like in Vista).
In my XP's quick menu, I have a button called "Show Desktop". When I click
it all forms are minimized.
Since I don't want my SideBar to be minimized, how do I prevent this?
Thanks!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
