Minimizing windows in client/server app?

Hi

I have a VB.NET client/server application in which there are multiple forms can be opened. Its not MDI application but at a time multiple forms can be on screen. Now, when we minimize all the forms, the taskbar indicators show the number the windows presently open. But, I don't want it that way.

I want to display only one taskbar indicator which refers to MyApp (my application) with a tooltip saying the actual number of windows open and the name of application.

How can I do this? Please advice. Thanks

well for a start you need to set the forms you dont want appearing in the taskbar to 'showintaskbar=false', keeping a record of open records is alot more tricky, the best way i would guess is to have one main windows that lauches and logs how many windows have been created and then the other forms issue an event in there onClose function to the main form.


I suggest you look into event handling
