StartUp form invisible

[mpires]

Hi,

Wend i use vb.net 2003, i cold hide start up form using "me.visible=false", but now in vb.net 2005 i think this don't work i have try 1000 things without success.

I have try to create a module and set it up as start up form then call my form and tell him to hide but don’t work to..

My only option was minimize the form set transparency and hide from task bar, but if i make "ALT+TAB" i can see my form....

I don't wont a service.... what i really need is on my app start hide.

Is any way to make my start up form invisible in vb.net 2005 ????

I’m so lost

Cheers,

Thread moved to Windows Forms forum.

WindowState=Minimized and ShowInTaskBar=False.

Hi tks,

That is what i have but will show on "ALT+TAB"....



Any other option...

Use a NotifyIcon component, this will act as "window" for trayed application and prevent the form from displaying alt-tab. Actually setting form ShowIcon=False have same effect, but it is better OS behaviour to have a tray icon and give user option to close app etc from this.

Yes as a tay icon it works tks,

Any way after more tests i have found this way "hide()" works....

Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized

Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
Me.Hide()

Strange but works to any way i have let my app as tray icon tks,

Cheers,
