taskbar

Basically I made console app that performs some task that takes a few minutes. I'd like to have it flash in the taskbar to let me know when it's done doing its thing. Daniel DiPaolo Using the answer that @Zack posted and another one to find the handle of a console app I came up with this and it works great. class Program { [DllImport("user32.dll")] [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)] static extern bool FlashWindowEx(ref FLASHWINFO pwfi); [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct FLASHWINFO { public UInt32 cbSize; public IntPtr hwnd; public UInt32 dwFlags; public UInt32 uCount;

I want to display a text in the taskbar like the NetSpeedMonitor program . I thought about how Windows did that with der Date and Time display, but I couldn't find any answer. I want to do this with C# and .Net 4.x if you watch this pic you see every thing in windows application have an handle(HWND) and if you get it you can change this app parameters and add or remove any thing on if look at this link there is sample for it in console application you just need just doing same thing on taskbar. I created a dll for all office apps to use them in c# like this and i done this by using handles of

What would be the shortest code to set the state of a Windows 7 taskbar button for a known window handle? The goal is to write a console utility that changes the progress and state (colour) of the console window taskbar item from a batch script. While the script performs different tasks, the taskbar item of its console window should represent the current state. I get the window handle with the GetConsoleWindow() function, but then it seems to require loads of COM and Shell API stuff that I don't understand. One example I've found uses a whole GUI application with MFC to demonstrate the API,

One of the features introduced in Windows 7 (or was it Vista?) is the capability of the taskbar button of an application to show the progress of a progress bar in that application. When I create a form and place a progress bar on it, it doesn't show up in the taskbar button, so I assume this isn't done automatically. How can I get Windows 7 to show the progress of a progress bar on the application's taskbar button? It can be easily accomplished using the ITaskList3 COM Interface. For using it in Delphi check the following link: Fun with the Windows 7 Taskbar Also Check this link for complete

I am making a taskbar in C# and I know how to get a list of open windows, but I must know what windows I must show in the taskbar. How can I do this? I'm not sure if the exact algorithm is known, but you will not be far off with something like: if style & WS_VISIBLE { if ( ( exstyle & WS_EX_APPWINDOW ) or ( !HasOwnerWindow() and !(exstyle & WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW) ) { ShowWindowInYourTaskBar() } } 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3484650/what-api-function-do-i-need-to-use-to-know-if-a-window-is-being-shown-in-the-tas

Using LoadImage I changed the icon of all the windows in a group. However the group icon does not change. How can I get the corresponding group to a window and set its icon? Remy Lebeau The group icon comes from the EXE file itself (in the case of multiple EXEs contributing to the same group, I imagine the taskbar has some algorithm to decide which EXE to pull the icon from). There is no official API to change the group icon. You would have to manipulate the Taskbar directly , which is not impossible but not trivial either. Update: I just came across the following answer, maybe it will help
