ShowInTaskbar problem

[vdraceil]

Hi everyone..
I wanted to give my form a fullscreen view(without the title bar),so i set the following properties of the form,
windowstate=vbm aximized
caption=""
controlbox=fals e
clipcontrols=fa lse
I did hav a fullscreen view when i ran the prog..
but when the user minimizes the form by pressing Alt+Tab,the form minimizes and only the icon of the form can be seen in the taskbar..(i have set the form's ShowInTaskbar property=true)
but i need to show some text along with the icon in the taskbar..
if i change the caption property=text,t hen the title bar appears.

What am i supposed to do when i want to give my form a fullscreen view,as well as a caption(which must be shown to the user only when the form is minimized)..

Hope i'm clear in explaining my point..pls help vb programmers..

If I got your question, here's the algo:

 If the form_maximized=true then
   Hide the title bar
Else
   Show the title bar

Hi Lotus,

The Form is Not Minimized, it is maximised, but the control has been shifted to another window..
so that algo cannot be used..

Hi,

You need to get the Active Window and Set the Caption..

Oh yes, I'm sorry. LOL. I've made a mistake. Pressing an Alt + Tab on the keyboard does not minimizes the form. This makes the selected window to becomes an active.
