Thank you

Turning the ShowInTaskbar property on or off in Sample4_Translucency makes no difference to the behaviour of the program. In both cases, there is a task bar entry. I am using version 3_0_10 of the dotNET f_in_box samples under dotnet 2.0 on WinXP.

It seems that the ShowInTaskbar property hides the definition in the base class.

I will appreciate some help here.

Thank you for your question.

To test, I've made the following changes in the OnMenuMinimize:

Code: Select all

      private void OnMenuMinimize(Object Sender, System.EventArgs e)
      {
//         WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

         ShowInTaskbar = !ShowInTaskbar;
      }


It works fine. Could you please test it too?

Yes, ShowInTaskbar hides the definition of base class, because ShowInTaskbar in the base class recreates a window handle.

Hi Artem,

That works. It also works if I do "ShowInTaskbar = false;" in the form's constructor.

What didn't (and doesn't) work is when I set ShowInTaskbar to false in the form designer in Visual Studio. Given that your solution works, I don't need to bother about the designer.

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
