Hi everyone.

I'm using visual studio 2005 and programming with VB.
Is there anyway to have your application hide to the taskbar by the
clock. The likes of the way norton anti virus auto proctect and outlook
hides there with just there icons showing.

Anybody know how to do this?

Regards,

Andy Barker

kh,

You need to use NotifyIcon component to install the icon next to the clock.
Then you hide your application and remove it from the taskbar with setting
its form's ShowInTaskbar property to false.
