How to hide and show taskbar button at runtime?

[mwdelta]

The program I am developing has an option to hide or show the taskbar button (a system tray icon is the default). How can this be done during runtime? Also, how can I get an icon to show up on the taskbar button if my form is borderless?

Thanks much, Mike

For question 1: To hide your own taskbar button, you must hide the form: Me.Hide

For question 1: Set the ShowInTaskbar property to true for the form.

Neither of those is really appropriate for my application. First of all, ShowInTaskbar is a read-only property that cannot be modified at runtime. Hiding the form is not an option. =) I was wondering if there was some API function to show and hide the button, perhaps.

Thanks!
