Hi all;
I have written an application using Visual Basic 6.0 on a Windows XP Professional PC. The project contains a total of ten forms. When I compiled the project for distribution I noticed when I ran the program it didn't appear on the Windows taskbar like all running applications nornally do.
Normally, when you press F5 in the VB IDE you will see the default icon for the project on the taskbar and the name of the project you are running. And when compiled for distribution the applicatiomn will show up on the Windows Taskbar when started.
So my question is: How do I set up the VB IDE so that when I compile my projecyts they will show up on the Windows Taskbar?
Thank you,

The question really should be, what did you do to STOP IT from appearing on the TaskBar?
AFAIR, there is no setting in a VB6 Windows App to turn this off. You actually have to do it in code, or.....did you pick the right project type when you started the project?

To double check myself I created a new project as a Standard EXE. I added the Startup modual and the Splash and logon screens. When I run the program it should show it next to the Visual basic application that is currently running. It still will not show the application on the taskbar.
I hope this helps clarify the problem.

I think your problem is somewhere in your Startup module or Splash screen. Usually, a splash screen sets itself up so that the app doesn't appear in the taskbar until the main form is dispalyed.

I added the main form into the project I created to double check myself with. It still will not shop the application on the taskbar. The Login and Splash screen are both set to NOT show the form on the Task window. The Main form is set to show the form on the taskbar. When I minimize the main form it doesn't minimize to the Taskbar it, it minimizes onto the desktop.
Thank you,

It minimizes to the DESKTOP? Do you have some window manager or dual monitor manager installed?

The project is a standard EXE containing ten forms. It is being developed on a Windows XP Professional PC with only one flat screen monitor. The OS doesn't seem to recongnize it as a single exe application.

I still say your code is doing something to screw itself up. It's not the OS that's messing up.
Create a empty Standard .EXE project, with just a single form and no code. Run it and see if the same problem comes up.

Dave,
You are correct is was screwed up code. Another Vb guy sent me a message during the reading I found out that if you set open a form with the vbModal option the Form will not be placed in the taskbar.
So I going to have to remove the vbModal option from most of my forms.

You're launching all your forms Modal? This isn't standard practice, so that's why it never occured to me. You'd only do this for dialog boxes and other utility forms you want to have the focus in your application until the dialog is closed.

There are two parts to this. What part are you interested in: the getting the data out the database part or the displaying information in a table part? (Strictly speaking, ASP.NET only deals with the display part, it has no classes for database access as that is the responsibility of ADO.NET)
Here are some resources that will help:
* DataRepeater controls in ASP.NET[^]
* Deciding when to use the DataGrid, DataList or Repeater controls[^]
* Repeater Class[^]
* Server-side ASP.NET Data Binding, part 1[^] and part 2[^]

You could do it in your SQL SELECT statement:
SELECT Dept_Code AS [Department Code] FROM table

Windows has this built in already. What are you really trying to do? More specifications of your app would help.

Hi Dave Kreskowiak
thank you for your reply
I mean that the cd autoplay a exe file on it, that exe made with VB does not work without install VB. How can i make exe file without framework (Support files) For example many programs on a CD. That cd autoplay exe which made with me ask what program you are going to install.
Thank you

Write your .EXE in C++.
There are projects out there that can compile a .NET Framework Managed code-based app (like C# and VB.NET) into an native .EXE with that the required runtime support. They cost $,$$$ and have their limitations and restrictions.
I don't ever recommend using them...

Highlight the text in what control? TextBox, RichTextBox, ... This makes all the difference in the world.

![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) My first preference is 'TextBox' control, but it is really helpful for me if you sent the 'RichTextBox' control also.
Thanks for your Response…

The TextBox doesn't support different fonts, or styles of fonts, in the box at the same time. You'll have to use a RichTextBox for this. Look into the .SelectionStart, .SelectionLength, and .SelectionFont properties.
You'll want to specify the SelectionStart and SelectionLength properties first, then set the SelectionFont property to how you want the selection to appear in the RTB.
