I know you will be thinking "Not again this question", as I found like a hundred results when I searched for it. But when I put in the code as described on the pages here, it just minimizes to right above the start menu.
This is the code I use (I added a message box to see if the code gets triggered, but the message box never pops up):
private void Form1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Works1");
if (WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
this.Hide();
}
}
Because I don't know if it links to Form1 or Form, I have tried both, to no avail.
private void Form_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Works");
if (WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
this.Hide();
}
}
Now, when you double click on the Form, it puts this line in the Form1.Designer.cs:
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load);
Do I need a similar line to trigger the minimize event?
As you can see, I am completely lost :)
Oh, and it doesn't minimize to the taskbar, as I am using the following code to hide the form on run:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
Visible = false; // Hide form window.
ShowInTaskbar = false; // Remove from taskbar.
base.OnLoad(e);
}
You need the event
private void Form1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
