what "restore" function ?
or do you mean the little box at top right to restore a window after minimising it ?
Off the top of my head its not possible. By setting the border to non you have implicitly stated you dont want this capability.

elzohry,

Don't forget to grade the question. I'd like to think that my comment answers the question fully and completely, but if you feel that it is in any way lacking, let me know and give me the chance to improve on it *before* giving me a "B" or (god forbid) a "C".

 

by: sombellPosted on 2001-02-05 at 10:42:19ID: 5814288

I checked this one out - mostly from curiosity.

Unfortunately you dont get the right click menu for the taskbar icon - because there's no control box for the app (in turn because borderstyle = none)

Bummer !.
But note the icon still restores after minimize if you click the taskbar icon.

Its still worth an A as far as i'm concerned.

Fancy trying for the A+ to see if you can get that right click menu back ?

 

by: caraf_gPosted on 2001-02-06 at 01:28:33ID: 5816633

Create two forms.

Form1 is your form, with BorderStyle set to None; this time, don't bother setting the ShowInTaskbar property to True.

Form2 is an empty form, but don't change its borderstyle. However, *do* set the MaxButton property to False. On this form, put a timer with interval 1, set its Enabled property to False.

On Form1, there's a button, and if you click on it, the form is supposed to be "minimised".

This is the code behind that button:
Me.Hide
Load Form2
Form2.Left = -Form2.Width
Form2.WindowState = vbMinimized
Form2.Show

On Form2 then:
Private Sub Form_Resize()

Timer1.Enabled = (Me.WindowState = vbNormal)

End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

Timer1.Enabled = False
Unload Me
Form1.WindowState = vbNormal
Form1.Show

End Sub

Et voilá. Bit kludgy, but it does the job.

 

by: caraf_gPosted on 2001-02-06 at 01:30:09ID: 5816641

Actually. If you set Form1's "ShowInTaskbar" property to true, and you set its Caption property to the same value as Form2, you get a really cool effect where it looks like the form is properly minimised.

:o)

 

by: sombellPosted on 2001-02-06 at 01:40:17ID: 5816665

nice :o)

does the job is what the user sees.
