I've got a WPF application in C# that starts off with a loading dialog. As expected, a button for the app shows up in the Windows taskbar. I would like to detect right-clicks that might be done to that button. Ultimately, I hope to disable the right-click or simply have the loading dialog regain focus. I've seen that some people use cu...

However, The "Click" event does not fire and the Context menu doesnt show up. public class CTNotify { static NotifyIcon CTicon = new NotifyIcon(); static Cont...
Working on a service application in Delphi 5 that is intended to run on Windows XP - 7. Most of the application is coming together nicely, but I'm running into one issue. Part of this service application is a form that displays data occasionally (similar to the slider box Avast uses to let you know its updated). When the service shows...
My application is intended to work almost entirely through a Windows 7 taskbar item with the use of thumbnails and jump lists. I know I can easily create a Form and simply hide it, but this seems like overkill. Plus, I'd like to toy around with NativeWindow as much as possible, because I've never used it before. Essentially, I have a cl...
We have a Windows desktop application written in Delphi that works fine on Windows 7, except that the icon of the main form looks blurry in Windows' new taskbar. As long as the application has not been started the icon looks fine (i.e. when it's pinned to the taskbar). Once it has been started Windows uses the icon of the main form (ins...

We have come across some behaviour involving the taskbar icons that Windows 7 displays for different applications. I'm wondering whether anybody could shed some light on this: Windows 7 is set with font-size = 110%. Two MFC dialog applications A.exe and B.exe have exactly the same .ico resource embedded in them. A.exe has a shortcut as...

I have a normal MFC Application with an embedded icon. If I start the application, the icon is shown inside the windows-7 taskbar. But when I change the icon inside the resources, rebuild the application and start it, the taskbar doesn't show the current icon, but the icon from the first run. There is no special code inside the applic...

My problem is that whenever the JTextArea inside my frame contains new message updates, the user must be prompted even when his/her frame is minimized.

Hi, I've written a WPF application which has a custom (not the standard) icon. A Splashscreen is implemented too. The icon is correctly displayed if I start the application and wait until it is loaded. But, if I start my application and switch to another application (e.g. Outlook) before the my splash screen is shown, the icon is not ...
Hello. Does anyone know how I can prevent my C# winform covering/going on top of the taskbar? My form's border style has been set to "FixedToolWindow" which seems to cause this. I thought about reducing the height of the form, when the user makes the form maximized, but that wouldn't work as people may have different size taskbars. Any i...
I'm trying to find a way to display the current processor time of an application to the user via the taskbar when my application is minimized. For reference, I want something like what is implemented in Coretemp, where if you minimize the application, you can still see the temperature of the computer processor cores in the taskbar. Does ...
I would like to develop a small notifications application for Windows in .NET that docks on the right/left side of the screen (not consuming more than 300px), should always be visible and force the rest of windows to not overlap this application (something like the old Office taskbar or Vista's Sidebar). I have no idea where to start. Ca...

My installe...
