Hi everyone.

I'm using visual studio 2005 and programming with VB.
Is there anyway to have your application hide to the taskbar by the
clock. The likes of the way norton anti virus auto proctect and outlook
hides there with just there icons showing.

Anybody know how to do this?

Regards,

If I understand what you're asking, I believe you want to be using the
"NotifyIcon" control on your app.

Look it up in Help. I seem to recall that there is even a walk-thru in there
on how to use it...
