ShowInTaskbar=False Bug Workaround PLEASE SOMEONE ANYONE

When I set ShowinTaskbar = False then my MouseLeave and MouseEnter events stop working. How pleasant. I googled and plenty of people have acknowledged the bug but none have posted a workaround.

Anyone know of what I could do? I just have a few buttons with MouseEnter and MouseLeave Background image changes. Don't want to change the design of my project.

Thx in advance.

EDIT:
I probably have no hope finding a workaround for this so I'll ask this:

If ShowInTaskbar is set to False and I minimize the program it minimizes to the bottom left of the screen, how can I make it minimize to the right or to the system tray icon ?

hmm I tried that and it seems to be workign fine
can you explain more? I created a form with showInTaskbar set to false and I put a button on it. The enter and leave mouse events seem to fire just fine for the button

It has be when you are running the program. Forexample you have a button that does Me.ShowInTaskbar = False and then the events will no longer work.

The problem is also addressed here:

I was hoping some of the fine minds here could think of a workaround?

There is no mention of it in the Microsoft Knowledge Base so it may be that noone has ever reported it as a bug. The same behaviour does not occur in .NET 2.0, so maybe MS concetrated their efforts in getting things right in 2.0 and have neglected to fix the problem in 1.1. Once 2.0 is released then maybe some of the fixes will make it into a service pack for 1.1.

Damn Microsoft is so negligent

yup:) I found a mistake in MSDN regarding PropertyItem descriptions and I reported it, I checked backed often for 2 months and they never fixed it. bleh

i run into the same bug.

I solved it by using me.show() and me.hide()

Hope this helps someone out ^^
