[2005] Form not in Taskbar

[noahssite]

Hello out of cuorisoty how do i make my program not show up in the windows taskbar? It can show up as one of those small icons in the windows taskbar on the far right but not as one of those tabs that popup when minimized.

If you don't want a form show in the task bar then set its ShowInTaskbar property to False. Oh, those cryptic property names!

If you want an icon in the notification area (system tray) then you need to add a NotifyIcon to your form, set its Icon property and set its Visible property to True.

If you add a notifyicon remember to set the visble property to false when you exit the app. it isn't required, just neater.
