Hello all.
Well I'm new here, and also new to VB.Net. I have been muddling my way through dos batch files, and Nullsoft installer scripts for a couple of years, and now finally am taking my first VB.Net course. Fun stuff...
Anyhow, what I have been looking for for some time now is a way to remove the taskbar button for an open, non-minimized (restore view) program. Instead of the taskbar button, I would like to have a tray icon. So for example, at work I leave Outlook 2003 running, and displayed as a small window (restore view) all day on my second monitor. I would love to not give up space on my taskbar for Outlook, as well as several other programs I keep running and open all day.
Is there a way that I could make a VB.Net program that would come through after these programs open, and move their taskbar buttons to the tray? Or is there a way I could edit Outlook for example, and not let it display a taskbar button, since it uses a tray icon anyways?
Your thoughts are appreciated, thank you very much.
