I am writing a program which will use another application for communicating with, but I want to load this other application in the background when my main application loads, and then just send a windows message to my "background" application telling it to show/hide...
What I have done now is to have the "background" application started from the main application with a Process.start(filename). In the background app the code to run it looks like this:
<br />
Application.Run(new BackgroundAppFrame()) <br />
(from it's "static main" method). However it doesn't seem to be possible to do this without the frame being displayed (I guess the Application.Run() first invokes the constructor and then sets it visible or something like that... And then of course Application.Run() will block so I cannot set the hidden property).
Any suggestions on how to solve this? Set the size to 0 instead? Or move it out of screen? If you have a clean solution to this problem please tell me..

From your previous post, you're going about this the wrong way. Introducing a second application for such a small operation will just make your application that much more difficult to support.
You haven't made drag and drop easier by creating a second application, only more difficult. Check into that article I replied to your previous post and you'll be able to put together a modal form that itself can host multiple forms where you can then do what you were talking about.

I have App.exe which uses Dll.dll, I also add classical Microsoft manifest file App.manifest.exe to enable XP styles for common controls.
Now question how can I disable influence of manifest on Dll.dll
Which means I want that App.exe continue to use
comctl32.dll (ver 6) new one
but
Dll.dll should use
comctl32.dll (ver 5) old one
Load / Unload library - already try not helps
#define/#undefine IE_CONTLOLS - already try doesnt helps
I need to customize body of manifest somehow include or exclude styles in the dependency section
Thanks.

Hello,
I have a user control which contains a button that shows a form under my user control. The user controls size varies so I change the size of the form and its controls - a panel and checkedlistbox and than call the Show method. Before the call the Size properties for the form and its controls are correct, but after the call the width of the form is set to 112 pxl. If the form is bigger there is no such problem, its the smaller sizes that cause the problem. Any ideas what could be the reason and how to solve the problem?

The commons things to forget when adding controls are
- calling control.Show()
- actually adding the control with tabPage.Controls.Add(control)
- moving and sizing the controls so that all of them can be seen
If your app does those three steps, please post the code that adds the controls. I really cannot read from your thoughts what's missing.

Hello,
Is it possible in VS.NET to make a separate dll's for images alone. What I want to do is to change images in a C# program by changing the image dll's, so you dont have to open VS.NET to do that. (kinda like changing languages in a C# program).

Hello,
I have a user control with a panel which contains a checkedlistbox on it. I'm changing the controls sizes in the mousemove event, the problem is that it starts flickering. I have another user control which has a treeview instead of checkedlistbox and there is no such problem. So is the problem in the checkedlistbox control ? I used SetStyles with UserPaint, DoubleBuffer, AllPaintingInWmPaint for the user control but it didn't help. Any suggestions how to solve the problem?
Thanks

It seems flicker problem is a big disadvantage of C#, I developed a drawing tool using C#, It flicked terribly when drawing more figures. And I also use DoubleBuffer, AllPaintingInWmPaint. Its effect is not so good.
