vb.net controls : Borderles Forms
I am using borderless forms thrughout my project and becouse of that I have to manage on my own moving, closing etc of each borderless form. Since the forms don't have title bar anymore, I have to provide my own title and also application icon which I do. My quistion is how can I make the icon show in the status bar for my borderless form?

Sorry, I ment task bar. I'd like when I minimize my form, that its title and the form icon be displayed in the minimized form in the task bar like it is when the form has its border.

That works for me when the form's 'ShowInTaskbar' property is set to 'True'. -- Herfried K. Wagner [MVP]
Is your form borderless? Do you have a title bar in your form? For me, it works fine when I have normal form with borders and title bar, but when I remove border (FormBorderStyle = None), then it does not work anymore. the form title is still displayed but the icon is not. I'd like to know how to display the icon in the minimized form on the task bar when the form does not have borders. Thanks On 17 Feb 2004 01:26:43 +0100, hirf-spam-me-here@gmx.at (Herfried K.

ok,maybe some of my form's properties are not set properly :) here are the properties of my form FormBorderStyle = None Icon = (location of icon) Maximaze Box = False Minimize Box = False ShowInTaskbar = True Text = "blah-blah" WindowsState = Normal I don't think any other property affects the form border or style but please suggest. As you can see, my Icon and Text properties are set but I can see only Text property when my form is minimized. Any ideas why?

Yes, it shows only text (form's title) but not the icon even though
the icon is set On 17 Feb 2004 19:54:28 +0100, hirf-spam-me-here@gmx.at (Herfried K. [quoted text, click to view] Wagner [MVP]) wrote:

Thanks anyways :)
Strange isn't it. I don't understand why is the icon not displayed. Anyways, thanks for the effort. Dino :) On 17 Feb 2004 20:06:39 +0100, hirf-spam-me-here@gmx.at (Herfried K. [quoted text, click to view] Wagner [MVP]) wrote:

I had to design a borderless AND titlebar-less form - there was no way the
form would minimize to the taskbar and not lose it's window handle without some text showing in the titlebar. Our solution was to pop up a very small modal window and hide the main form - maybe something along those lines would work for you.
