Hello guys I have an applcation that sets itself to 0 opacity on Form1_load which then changes to 1 when the user left clicks on the NotifyIcon. I would also like the form to center itself directy above the notifyicon like the Win7 speakers, power, ect popups.
What's the best way to do this?
Thanks
As others have mentioned; I wouldn't bother with .Opacity unless you are using values beyond 0 and 1. I believe it will be more clear (and more performant, but I'm speculating) to use .Show and .Hide.
To center a form above the NotifyIcon in the System Try; you might want to just grabbing the mouse position and the screen size. Inside the NotifyIcon_Click event you could do...
Dim xPos As Integer = MousePosition.X
And center your form over that position. It won't technically be perfectly centered over the NotifyIcon - if you click on the left edge, it would be centered over the left edge. You can use .GetWorkingArea on the PrimaryScreen to get the height and position the Y value appropriately.
