I've got an app running maximized in a borderless window and need access to the windows taskbar on a given user event. How would I bring the taskbar in foreground in .NET while running maximized? Also an hint with regards to how to make it reliably go away wouldn't hurt! :) EDIT: please note that I don't want the taskbar always on, I ...
Kind of stumped - I have an application I've built (it's an old Visual FoxPro app) that won't pin to the Windows 7 task bar. Before you jump and say - FOXPRO is at fault - I have several other FoxPro apps running the same exact environment and they pin to the taskbar just fine. VFP 9 apps are EXEs with a runtime dependency but otherwise ...
Can you give me an example on how to put my application form in the taskbar? like Windows media player or Window search when minimize. ...
We noticed that on W7 with DPI set to > 125% or to > 100% with ("Use windows xp style dpi scaling") turned off, our fullscreen mode (which sets the client rect of our window = desktop rect of the main monitor) no longer hides the task bar like it does for other settings. (The setting can be found in the Control Panel\Appearance and Pers...
Original question I use Launch4j as a wrapper for my Java application under Windows 7, which, to my understanding, in essence forks an instance of javaw.exe that in turn interprets the Java code. As a result, when attempting to pin my application to the task bar, Windows instead pins javaw.exe. Without the required command line, my appl...
I am developing an application called WeatherBar. Its main functionality is based on its interaction with the Windows 7 taskbar — it changes the icon depending on the weather conditions in a specific location. The icons I am using in the application are all stored in a compiled native resource file (.res) — I am using it instead of the ...
I'd like to know how to get a list of the windows requiring user attention from the Windows taskbar. Windows requiring attention appear with a flashing orange color within the Windows taskbar. Un-focused MSN Messenger conversation windows are a good example of this behavior: they turn orange as soon as a remote user sends an instance m...

I know the implications of this but a client was insistent that they wanted a program we've made to lock the desktop and/or taskbar so as to prevent the user from switching programs. I'd already explained the implications of this but they were still insistent that the desktop be locked down. How is this behavior possible? I'm using .NET...
Because I disabled the default windows style in my application, I don't have the default(Vista/7) minimize effect when the application is minimized/restored. I made up that effect, but I don't know program's position on the taskbar, and therefore the window fades in the bottom center. How do I get my application's position on the taskba...
Hello Everyone, You know that "Internet Connectivity" icon on the Windows Taskbar? The one that often tells us we have no connection to the internet after pull out our ethernet cables? I was wondering if there is a command line command that would tell me the status of that icon. (No internet / Connectivity but with the yellow caution s...
Hey, I am coding a program which uses a global hotkey registered via ManagedWinapi.Hotkey. This works fine. What I want to do is to show a contextmenustrip when this hotkey is pressed. I want this to work when the main form of my program is not focused. This works right, with the problem that an empty window appears in the taskbar each...
