On the Task bar

[J Bunton]

I have written a programme in VB (a 5 year old version)

Problem: The 'Main Form' doesn't announce itself on the Task bar (Win 2000)
Though subsequently opened Forms do!

Any offers please

Re: On the Task bar

1) showintaskbar is false (if VB5 forms have this property)

2) form is shown modally

3) form has inappropriate border style.

Re: On the Task bar

Thanks Randy - there is indeed a form property "ShowInTask Bar"

How could I have missed it??!

Thanks again
