event fo minimized form in taskbar click

[mahboobeh]

Hi every body
I'm tring to handle a mouse click event for the form is minimized to system Task bar(when minimized form in taskbar click). Does any one know how to do that?
Thanks

That event would be raised in the taskbar process, not your program.
You could watch the various resize events and check the WindowState proeprty to see when the state is minimized and the size is changing?

There is also some winAPI that allows you to provide a custom context menu (right-click) for your programs entry in the taskbar. I don't know it off hand, but it might have something for left clicking too

Add a notification icon control to ur form.
Set show in taskbar property of form to false.
Then in Double click event of notification icon write this.WindowStat e = WindowState.Nor mal;

you can set context menu with notification icon.

i used mousehook( from win32 api)to do this.
it can give mouseevent from active form and send it for my forms when its not active!
