Hide Application in Tab Applications' of Task Manager Only

Hide Application in Task Manager (in Applications tab Only)

Hello there,

I am trying to find a way in VB 2005 to hide my application in "Application Tab" of the task manager. Anyway I do not need to hide my application in "Processes Tab" of the task manager.

I can do that by setting "ShowInTaskBar" property to False, but it will also hide my application in the taskbar.

Is there a way to hide my application in "Application Tab" of task manager only, without hiding it in taskbar and "Processes Tab" of the task manager?

Thanks in advance for kind help.

The Applications tab shows all applications with a visible main window. If your app has a main window and that window is visible then it will be displayed in that tab.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Is it mean that if my main window is hidden, while secondary form is visible, would it do the trick?

Regards.

I just had a closer look and it seems to be that that tab simply replicates the task bar. Any window that is shown in the task bar gets shown on the Applications tab of the Task Manager. The two are the same thing so you cannot separate them.
