hi,

some programs like calendars will directly attach to
the desktop and doesn't get minimized when "show desktop"
icon is clicked. Could some one tell how to make a form
get attached to the desktop.


thanks,
pradeep
 
Could you provide a link to a piece of software that does what you want?
Shareware or freeware preferably.
 
Set form's ShowInTaskBar property to false and it will work
I also tried setting minimizeboz button = false, with this [I think it will work without setting this prop]

HTH
 
By the looks of it, I would hazard a guess and say that the controls are
being drawn directly onto the desktop. I don't know if its possible to do
this in .NET and would certainly be easier to do in native code(one of the
few things). If you dig through the psdk you should be able to find more
info, however MS's search site is being dumb again and not givng me any
help.
