Hi Mario
This is the code I'm using now, I'm cutting&paste from my app so maybe it
will not compile as it is.
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[DllImport("user32.dll",EntryPoint="SetForegroundWi ndow")]
public static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool MessageBeep(int type);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern int SetWindowLong( IntPtr window, int index, int
value);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern int GetWindowLong( IntPtr window, int index);
[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
public static extern int sndPlaySound(string lpszSoundName , int uFlags)
;
const int GWL_EXSTYLE = -20;
const int WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW = 0x00000080;
const int WS_EX_APPWINDOW = 0x00040000;
//This is the icon when there are no orders in the system
Icon normalIcon;
public Form1()
{
this.notifyIcon1 = new System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon(this.components);
// The Icon property sets the icon that will appear
// in the systray for this application.
notifyIcon1.Icon = normalIcon;
// The ContextMenu property sets the menu that will
// appear when the systray icon is right clicked.
notifyIcon1.ContextMenu = this.contextMenu1;
// The Text property sets the text that will be displayed,
// in a tooltip, when the mouse hovers over the systray icon.
notifyIcon1.Text = "the text";
notifyIcon1.Visible = true;
//Remove from the taskbar and also from alt+tab
this.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Minimized;
this.Visible = false;
this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
int windowStyle = GetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE);
SetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE, windowStyle | WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW);
}
Cheers,
