hello fabein,
i think u did not get my problem

my problem is........

i have a form and i want to minimize my application programatically
without using the minimize button(ie X button) in the controlbox(ie the
blue bar present at the top) so i tried
ME.HIDE.
but when i tried to activate my application again by clicking on the
application icon my application does not open again.neither the
application is present in the list of RUNNING PROGRAMS.

so i made anew application with just one button and wrote the following
code on its click event

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

ME.TEXT="SHOWFORM"
ME.HIDE

End Sub

the application gets hidden but i am not able to open the application
again by clicking on the application icon nor the application is
visible in the list of RUNNING PROGRAMS
then how do iactivate it again .
is it a known Bug if yes please help me out with this.

thank you.

Hi,

What is the value of the property FormBorderStyle of your Form ?
