New CommandBars bug..?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm making a program that minimizes to the system tray. The problem is, when the "this.ShowInTaskbar" property is changed during runtime, it causes my CommandBars to freeze up completely. I commented out this.ShowInTaskbar and it stops CommandBars from freezing, but I cannot create the "minimize to tray" look that I am trying to create, which requires the this.ShowInTaskbar property to be changed. Here is my code below:

            private void frmMain_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                switch (this.WindowState)
                {
                    case FormWindowState.Minimized:
                        Icon1.Visible = true;
                        this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
                        break;
                    case FormWindowState.Normal:
                        Icon1.Visible = false;
                        this.ShowInTaskbar = true;
                        break;
                }
            }

            private void Icon1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
            {
                if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
                {
                    if (e.Clicks == 2)
                    {
                        this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
                    }
                }

I am using C# 2005 and CommandBars 10.1 ActiveX.

	Hello, I tried simple sample with this.ShowInTaskbar = !this.ShowInTaskbar; call and I see that .NET destroys window and creates it again. CommandBars is simple ActveX - it can't find event when .NET window was destroed and when it need to restore self. Think you can call this.Visible= false; instead to hide icon in taskbar.
