Main form not getting in focus and taskbar

Hi,

I am having this problem with my application that it is not getting
itself in taskbar by itself.. i m working on this application for 5
months, don't know what happened at what time that its not getting in
focus. If during startup i bring other applications(li ke internet
browser, explorer or Ms-Word) to the focus, my application just starts
up and rests in the background without even showing in the takbar.

I have even tried following methods at the starting point of my main
form.. but to no avail :(

this.StartPosit ion =
System.Windows. Forms.FormStart Position.Center Screen;
this.TopLevel=t rue;
this.SetTopLeve l(true);
this.Focus();
this.BringToFro nt();

I have verified my form's properties with main form's property of other
project which is behaving normal (that it is appearing in the taskbar
whatever applicaiont is my current focus)

Any guidance is highly appreciated,
thanks in advance.

Asher

I want to be able to add a clock to the title of a VB.NET form. Simply updating the FormClass.Text property does not quite make it, the titile only changes once the form is minimised/maximised. Preferrably I'd like to use a Windows API to change the text displayed in the TASKBAR for the form window. Is it possible to change the title used by the taskbar to something different to the title used by the form window? Have been searching for...

OK, this is a stupid thing, but I can't seem to get this to work. I have a form with a subform (in continuous form view). A combo box on the main form has code in the AfterUpdate event which adds a record to the subform (based on the value of the combo box) and requeries the subform control. I want the focus to return to the combo box on the main form when it's done, but I can't get it to do so if the user enters a value and presses Enter...

Hi together, I have got a "sliding" form which becomes active when a user clicks on a button in another form. In my function which starts the "sliding" mechanism is a call to this.Show() to make the sliding form visible at first (an no ShowDialog(), because I have to do the sliding). After that the form is "sliding" with a ticker (just like a notification window in the taskbar which "slides" up). Now when the "sliding" is finished I...

I have written an application desktop toolbar (similar to Taskbar in style) and when I first start it up, it displays fine and has mouse focus so that when you run your mouse over the buttons, tooltips appear and a single click on any button works as expected. But when I click on another application, the toolbar loses focus which I guess is as expected. However when I move my mouse back over the toolbar, the tooltips don't appear and...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
