Hotkey register is of no effect after ShowInTaskBar = false

I register a hotkey following this article:
http://www.dotnet2themax.com/ShowCon...0-c2bb7075ba78
Using windows api to archive it.
But when I use it as a part of my program(it would minimize to tray
before you call it), I found it doesn't work. Finally I found the
statement which cause it:
this.ShowInTask bar = false;
Though I wrote "ShowInTask bar = true" later in the program, but hotkey
didn't work anymore.And if I block it, hotkey is work well.
I have searched a lot, but no answer. I thought I must have
ShowInTaskbar remains because I have to minimize program when it
startup. I have no idea if there is another way to do so.

So I want to activate my application with global hotkey and let it stay
in the tray before I call it.

Thanks!

I have a main form (Form1) which opens a second form (Form2) when a button is clicked. Form2 has .FormBorderStyle set to FixedSingle. Form2 contains two buttons, one which unpins it from Form1 by setting ..ShowInTaskBar to true, and setting .Owner to false. The other buttons click event reverses, this by setting .Owner to the form1 instance, and .ShowIntTaskBar to false. This all works fine, with Form2appearing in the taskbar and...

Ive an application that usually runs in the taskbar. ShowInTaskbar is set to false during InitializeComponent. It works fine. However, I decided that i'd like the application to show in the task bar when it was open on the desktop so set ShowInTaskbar to true when the form was unhidden. Unfortunately the application fell over with an "unable to get window handle" error. Am I able to set this property after initialization?

I can't find the post now but several months back I posted a problem I was having using the WebBrowser control when trying to have a systray icon pop back up a window that hadn't been shown in the taskbar. I was doing ShowInTaskbar = False - and someone here told me that wouldn't work because the browser control was ActiveX still and that ShowIOnTaskbar = false actually destroyed the window. So, I tried 2.0 Beta and the same thing happens...

If ShowInTaskbar is true, my process can send and receive WMessages toward other applications! But if ShowInTaskbar is false, the process can only send WM!! The final question is following: Is there a way to send and receive messages without having the application on taskbar ?? Excluse for my not perfect...
