Hello,
I need to remove the taskbar icon for my application and run it from System tray only. The menu is a context menu on the system tray icon and I want it to have no icon in the taskbar (no long bar with the application name on it).
I have figured out how to have the system tray icon, but how do I make it so that the app does not have a taskbar icon even when running normally or maximized (not just when its minimized ).
Thanks

Set the Form.ShowInTaskbar property to false.

Hi all,
I have just read the following article: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/printhml.asp[^]
Here it describes how to print a html document and it works BUT it works in the same way as the following piece of code:
Process myProcess = new Process();<br />
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = TemplatePath + "\\Invoice.HTML";<br />
myProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print";<br />
myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;<br />
myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;<br />
myProcess.Start();
Is there someone who used the code from the article and would any one know how to specify a printer as to not make the "select printer" screen come up? Both of these two ways bring up the screen where the user needs to select the printer...  I've been stuck with this one a while now.

Hello,
I don't know if this solution also works for printing of files.
I used it for directprint a bitmap.
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "youreprinter";
PageSetupDialog psd = new PageSetupDialog();
psd.Document = pd;
psd.PageSettings.Landscape = true;
pd.PrintPage += new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventHandler(PrintCurrentPage);
pd.Print();
private void PrintCurrentPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
}
Again, I don't know if it works for you but maybe it helps.
All the best,
Martin

After a few months of using OOP and C#, there is one thing I can't get my head round:
* I've got the main form (Form1).
* Form1 contains two user controls (UserControl1 and UserControl2), both of which have some code associated with them.
* When UserControl1 is operated, I want (under certain circumstances) to refresh UserControl2.
UserControl1 does not know of the existence of UserControl2, so the call has to somehow go through Form1. I could solve this by having a static method in Form1 that will refresh UserControl2, but that wouldn't be very OOP.
What's the correct way of doing this? Am I missing the point somewhere?
Thanks for your help.

Raise an event in UC1, handle that event in Form, and update UC2.
|
|
|
|
|
Or use Parent.Refresh(), not very elegant since it'll refresh all child controls in your form, but it works.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for both your answers.
It works now.
|
|
|
|
|
You can also create a handler object that handles updating the user controls on the form.

How to implement shortkut keys for menus and buttons
My small attempt...
|
|
|
|
|
Try using text property of button like &Press. Putting & before any character will make it shortcut ley. Here P will become shortcut key.

When setting the Name property, just provide an ampersand ( & ) to indicate the shortcut key that must be pressed to activate this control.
btnClick.Name = "&Click";

Hi Senthil,
Name property will not work in this case. It should be the Text property. Name will be used as identifier and will not be displayed on button while Text is actually displayed on button. Try to change the name to "&Click". It will show invalid property dialog box. With Text property it will work smooth.

You can use an attribute to turn off this error. Or, you can use a worker thread which sends messages back to the main thread, whch can then update the UI.

Create a new thread while making any calls to server. Let that thread handle it. If u r using .NET 2.0, use form.InvokeRequired().
