taskbar

How would one go about displaying taskbar notifications? I want to write an app that periodically displays a flash card esque notification, the intention is to see if a 5 second or so distraction every hour can help with language learning. For the application you describe, I probably wouldn't use a notification icon or taskbar icon. You'll likely need a larger window displayed, with larger font. I'd open a frameless window (possibly faded or scrolled into view) that sits in the lower-left of the desktop. (Although of course remember that not everyone has the taskbar at the bottom of the screen

A window is not showing in the task bar, only in the system tray. How can I make it show up in the taskbar as well? I tried the following code, but it had no effect: int windowStyle = GetWindowLong(pMainWindow, GWL_EXSTYLE); SetWindowLong(pMainWindow, GWL_EXSTYLE, windowStyle & WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW); And, this is NOT my form! I'm getting the handle from Process.GetProcessesByName and I don't know how to access properties of the Form class: Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("somename"); someProcess = processes[0]; pMainWindow = someProcess.MainWindowHandle; The following seems to do

I did a quick topic look, but did not find something similar. My query is: how can I prevent a child window appearing on the Windows taskbar when it is shown? You need to use a JDialog instead of a JFrame JDK 1.7 brings you method setType. Use following method. JFrame.setType(javax.swing.JFrame.Type.UTILITY) 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2694782/remove-a-jframe-from-taskbar-in-java

I have an application that gets started via a shortcut. This application than starts a Java GUI application with CreateProcess(). When the Java application gets pinned to the taskbar the javaw.exe gets pinned to the taskbar instead of the "expected" shortcut. Only the native executable which launches Java can be modified - the shortcut has to stay. What has to be done so that the shortcut gets pinned? Thanks, Stefan Use something like winrun4j or create a .bat instead of using a shortcut. There is a Java library providing the new Windows 7 features for Java. It's called J7Goodies by Strix Code

I am trying to figure out how to detect which Taskbar button was clicked. Specifically, I want to write a script that makes it possible to maximize a window by double-clicking its Taskbar button. That requires knowing which Taskbar button was clicked, which I am having a difficult time finding any leads on. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished? That's a though one I have to admit. I can't offer you a best practice solution, but here is a little work around, maybe that enough for your purposes: CoordMode, Mouse, Screen ~LButton:: If (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey<400) and (A_PriorHotkey="

I am trying to find and click a hidden icon on the taskbar (shown by clicking the white triangle) in windows 7, using python. I've been trying to use pywinauto for this, but it doesn't seem to have the functionality to find and click one of these hidden icons. Even the taskbar module in pywinauto doesn't work (possibly due to being outdated). How can I do this? The application I am trying to access for automation can only be shown by clicking on its hidden icon in the taskbar. By hidden icon, I mean in the notification area. I've tried pywinauto.taskbar.SystemTrayIcons, but the DrawOutline

Believe me, I have Googled it and expected it to be a fairly easy find - turns out it isn't. I have my window handle, but no form. How do I do it? Thanks! Declare these: [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)] static extern int GetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern int SetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex, int dwNewLong); private const int GWL_EX_STYLE = -20; private const int WS_EX_APPWINDOW = 0x00040000, WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW = 0x00000080; And then use this before the form is shown: SetWindowLong(handle, GWL_EX_STYLE, (GetWindowLong(handle, GWL_EX

EDIT: I don't want it to update, change or go away. I ONLY want the taskbar to be at 40% to start the program, stay that way till it closes. I spent a lot of hours and tried many examples...but no luck. To keep it simple, how do you show 40% done in Error color? This code runs but does nothing on the screen, no errors, just runs right by: public TaskbarItemInfo taskBar = new TaskbarItemInfo(); then in a method: taskBar.ProgressState = System.Windows.Shell.TaskbarItemProgressState.Error; taskBar.ProgressValue = 0.40; If you breakpoint on the next line and look, it has set the values, they just

All programs I have tried so far in Windows 7 have a 'Pin this program to taskbar' item when right-clicking them in the task bar. I have a C# program that only shows 'Close Window' and nothing else. It is build with C# 2010 Express, and targets .NET 3.5 framework. I can't find any reason why no other options show up or any properties I could change. Does anyone know what property could affect this option? http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2009/Oct/08/Application-that-wont-Pin-to-Taskbar-in-Windows-7 There could be one of a few reasons for this: Executables located on remote locations (i.e.
