Hello,

First:
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, there is no way to place this in the
proper forum anymore..

Wanted to know if there was a way in .NET to detect when a user clickes the
application in the taskbar - ie: for normal apps this will minimize or
maximize the app - but if you set your app to borderless it no longer takes
on this default functionality - but i really really want it to :-)

Any ideas? Ok, quite honestly i know this will never be answered because
there is NO WAY to place it in the right spot anymore :-( ... is MS trying to
do away with this forum? Why is gas so high?

thanks.

ohh.. I didn't know that .net was ported to windows3.1x

ok you can do 16bit-programming in win9x too it you like,
but normally you do 32bit (but since you ask in microsoft.public.win16.
and not in microsoft.public.win32. I guess you don't want a 32bit
program, as installationprogram is normally made 16bits for example.

> application in the taskbar - ie: for normal apps this will minimize or

having a taskbar was not normal in 16-bit windows so I guess
you are using a 32bit os, and probably things related to the
taskbar uses win32-api, which is still possible to access from
win16-program (in win98 and later but not win95) but not as easy
