taskbar

hi,

Can somebody please explain how I minimize a program to the taskbar?

in Visual Basic.NET, thanks

In the form you wish to minimize:

 Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized

no sorry, not the taskbar, I mean where the clock is, the background programs

You need to use the NotifyIcon control. Look in the MSDN for more information.

lol just as i make an example :

Private WithEvents nIcon As NotifyIcon

   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

       nIcon = New NotifyIcon()
       nIcon.Icon = Me.Icon
       nIcon.Visible = True
       Me.ShowInTaskbar = False

   End Sub


   Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
       If Not nIcon Is Nothing Then
           nIcon.Icon = Nothing
           nIcon.Visible = False
           nIcon = Nothing
       End If
   End Sub

   Private Sub nIcon_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles nIcon.DoubleClick
       MessageBox.Show("i'm how you get in the area where the clock is!")
       Me.Close()
   End Sub
