Launching a form with visible set to false
-
My problem : I use a notify icon on a form .. and I want to only show the notify icon and not the form ... but I didn't have any success cause the form tries to open as visible The only solutions I came up with are 1.to start a timer on form load 2.override the OnVisibleChange method and set visibble always to false I think the cause for the error is Application.Run( myform ) or probably an error with .NET Framework wich I doubt Is anybody else experiencing this or I 'm the only one who gets this king of errors . I tried to set visible false in the constructor but it still shows the form .. This error comes up in .Net 1.1 , 2.0 Beta2 , haven't tried it on 1.0.. but i'm pretty sure it's the same If you want to see that I'm write ... create a new C# project ... and in the form constructor write ,..... this.Visible = false ...... :laugh: :^) Ok... if someone can tell me why ... or if they have a more viable solution I'll whait for it Lazar Mihai Highschool student

have you tried this.Opacity = 0;

have you tried this.Opacity = 0;

Quite right you are. What about setting the size of the form to zero and the borderstyle to none then? form.Size = new Size(0,0); form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;

Override the form's OnLoad and set the forms Visible property to false in there. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

U can use this code (with P/Invoke implemenstation):
..... using System.Runtime.InteropServices; ..... public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form { .... protected override void OnLoad(System.EventArgs e) { WIN32 win32 = new WIN32(); win32.HideWindow(this.Handle); } ... } public class WIN32 { public WIN32() { } public void HideWindow(System.IntPtr handle) { ShowWindow(handle,WindowShowStyle.Hide); } [DllImport("user32.dll")] private static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, WindowShowStyle nCmdShow); private enum WindowShowStyle : uint { Hide = 0, ShowNormal = 1, ShowMinimized = 2, ShowMaximized = 3, Maximize = 3, ShowNormalNoActivate = 4, Show = 5, Minimize = 6, ShowMinNoActivate = 7, ShowNoActivate = 8, Restore = 9, ShowDefault = 10, ForceMinimized = 11 } }It will your main window... ;) -

Overriding doesn't work ... I 've tried it ... it was probably the first thing I tried ... Lazar Mihai Highschool student
