WindowState.Minimized vs. Me.Hide

[Terry Olsen]

Using the below code, If I use Me.WindowState=Minimized the program runs
fine, but you have the taskbar showing the program running.

If I use Me.Hide instead, the program immediately exits.

If UCase(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Command) = "/SILENT" Then
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
silent = True
For i As Integer = 0 To clbPCs.Items.Count - 1
clbPCs.SetItemChecked(i, True)
Next
Button1.PerformClick()
Application.Exit()
End If

Try Me.Visible = False (just an idea), rather than Me.Hide ().

If I use Me.Hide instead, the program immediately exits.

If UCase(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Command) = "/SILENT" Then

For i As Integer = 0 To clbPCs.Items.Count - 1
clbPCs.SetItemChecked(i, True)
Next
Button1.PerformClick()
Application.Exit()
End If

You are calling 'Application.Exit', and thus your application exits. In
addition to that, the form is invisible, so 'Button1.PerformClick' won't
raise the button's 'Click' event.
