    I want to give the users an option of "Show in taskbar" in an application - I'm using the System Tray so they will still have access to the application.

    There is a property of the form which allows you to not display the application in the task bar, but it is design-time only. Is it possible, via an API call, to provide this functionality?

    Visual Basic 6 Professional.

    Many thanks,



    Jim

    There's another way to, if you make your app not shown in taskbar and then put another form to be visible/invisible and it will look like your app is going to be shown/not shown in taskbar. The cool thing is that you can change the caption text of the second form and your app will have another caption than shown in the taskbar.
