Hi,
Does anybody know how to turn off the animation Windows does with a window
as it's minimized/maximized to the taskbar?
I have an app which, when minimized, syncs to any other open instances of
the app and tells them to minimize. If I have more than a couple instances
open, the user ends up waiting quite a while for all of windows to minimize,
since each minimizing animation is done consecutively and not in parallel.
I would rather have the window disappear immediately.
TIA,
Norvin

As far as I know, it can only be specified at the system level for all
windows, but by each app individually.
What you can do is intercept the minimize event, and hide the window
instead, placing an icon in the notification area.

Hi James,
thanks for the reply. So when I call a form's .Hide() method, it also
disappears from the taskbar. How do I go about keep it visible in the
taksbar? (Is this what you meant by "placing an icon in the notification
area"?)
TIA,
Norvin

The notification area is the spot by the clock (which probably already
has a bunch of icons), which is sometime (wrongly) referred to as the
"system tray"
