Hello. This question may sound silly, but I was wondering if someone ever had that problem too. I was using Eclipse 3.2 to develop, earlier. Recently I changed to Eclipse 3.4 (ganymede), and I have a problem, concerning debugging. Before, whenever the debugger was hitting a breakpoint, Eclipse would blink in the windows taskbar, to noti...
Hello. I'd like to know if it's possible to know if an external application has an window that is showing up on the taskbar. I have a program that sometimes shows up an error message and it appears on the taskbar. If I "close" the message, it will go invisible, but from what I've seen it still exists. So the only way for me to know if th...
When hiding the Task Bar on Vista and Windows 7 the Start Button (also known as the Start Orb) doesn't get hidden. I've been looking for a solution to this and I've found one but it seems more complex than necessary. This CodeProject article describes (and contains code for) a solution where you enumerate all child windows of all threads...
I am looking for a way to programmatically get the current taskbar icons (not the system tray) for each program that is in the taskbar. I haven't had much luck with MSDN or Google, because all of the results relate to the system tray. Any suggestions or pointers would be helpful. EDIT: I tried Keegan Hernandez's idea but I think I mi...
I have an application that gets started via a shortcut. This application than starts a Java GUI application with CreateProcess(). When the Java application gets pinned to the taskbar the javaw.exe gets pinned to the taskbar instead of the "expected" shortcut. Only the native executable which launches Java can be modified - the shortcut ...
Is it possible to implement drag and drop behavior in the notification area of the windows taskbar? Like having the icon there that can monitor something dragged and dropped on it. I suppose it should be a little bit tricky (if ever possible) ...
I stumbled on this code below and tried to implement it in my WinForm App to help my users as many are very NOT tech-savy. Unfortunately, it does nothing. It does not generate any errors or anything. It just doesn't make it Flash. Can anyone offer any insight? I have tried it on Win 7(x64) & Win XP (x86) with the same results on ...
Hi All I hope someone can help as I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I have an application with multiple forms, each form has the same icon, so when I minimise that form the form appears on the taskbar with the specified icon. However, when I have multiple form windows minimised onto the taskbar the the forms a...
How do I go about creating my own taskbar toolbar, a la Windows Media Player: Examples or documentation or even open source software that implements this for just about any language would be appreciated, but Google isn't being very helpful. Ultimately, I would like to do this in C# (I expect to need P/Invoke) for XP onwards, but any l...
My application launches using an advertised shortcut in the Windows Start Menu. This means the shortcut doesn't link directly to my exe, though the exe is ultimately what runs. My problem is: when I right click the shortcut in the Windows 7 taskbar and select Pin to Taskbar, and then launch my application, I end up with two icons in th...
I am using a JWindow object in my Java application to simulate a mouseover dropdown menu. When the user mouses over a JLabel, the window appears and remains until the mouse exits either the label or the newly visible window. My problem is that each time the user performs this action, a new entry in the task bar at the bottom of the scr...

Do You know how to implement it in C#? (or Win32 C++, but anything that will actually do it is fine.) Thanks. Hope I've made myself cl...

With Screen.DesktopHeight and Screen.DesktopWidth, I can get the size of the "virtual" desktop and I believe that works for one or multiple monitors. I save the position (top and left) and size (height and width) of my application into the registry when it closes. When it opens, I want to ensure it is entirely visible, since it may have...

A window is not showing in the task bar, only in the system tray. How can I make it show up in the taskbar as well? I tried the following code, but it had no effect: int windowStyle = GetWindowLong(pMainWindow, GWL_EXSTYLE); SetWindowLong(pMainWindow, GWL_EXSTYLE, windowStyle & WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW); And, this is NOT my form! I'm getting...
