Hi Nick,
I use the code below to do a similar thing, I use a NotifyIcon and
therefore remove the form fmro the taskbar, alt+tab , etc. I do so
P/Invoking
These are the dclarations:
const int GWL_EXSTYLE = -20;
const int WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW = 0x00000080;
const int WS_EX_APPWINDOW = 0x00040000;
[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);
This is the code:
//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,

I've done that already - it doesn't show in the task bar, but it still
shows when you alt-tab. Any other ideas?

Hi,
I am tring to display a form that does not show in either the task bar
or when the user alt-tabs. The form is running full screen and is set to
have no border.
