Show a winform over the notification area

Question

I want to show a winform in the very right down corner just above the system tray,

How do I do that? Here is my code:

public static void Noti         


        

Answer 1

If you wanted to position the form over/infront of the taskbar:

Set the forms TopMost property to true. You can use Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds to get the screen resolution then set your forms position appropriately.

If you just want to position the form just above the taskbar in the bottom right then you can do as follows:

In the form designer, goto Properties->Events and add the Load event to your form.

Add the following:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
    int x = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width - this.Width;
    int y = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height - this.Height;
    this.Bounds = new Rectangle(x, y, this.Width, this.Height);
}
