How to minimize to task bar?

[rcsenar]

My VB6 app does not minimize to the task bar even though I have ShowInTaskBar set to True. It shrinks down and parks itself just above the Start button. This has got to be an easy solution. What the heck am I not doing?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

That definitely helps to minimize to the System Tray. But what about to the Task Bar? There has to be a simple solution.

That is really strange. The only way I get that effect of not minimizing to the tray is if ShowInTaskBar is set to false. If you ahve it set to true, it whould minimize properly.

I would suggest creating a new form and copying all your code and objects to the new form. It may be that you made a setting change somewhere. Craig, mailto:sander@cogeco.ca

Try this:

Private Sub Form_Resize()
Dim vbresize As FormWindowStateConstants

If WindowState = vbresize Then
RichTextBox1.Width = Me.Width - 100
RichTextBox1.Height = Me.Height - 670
End If


If WindowState = vbMaximized Then
RichTextBox1.Width = Me.Width - 100
RichTextBox1.Height = Me.Height - 800
End If
'this is necessary to assure that the minimized window is hidden
If Me.WindowState = vbMinimized Then Me.Hide

End Sub
