how to minimize the form?

how to minimize the form?

• nazura

  Try this:

  Form1.Visible = false;
  Form1.Refresh();

  There is an intellisense feature. After you type the dot a list of available fields and methods should appear. Look for the one that matches the best to what you are looking for. Also everything is case sensitive so watch out for that.

  Are you just trying to make the form disappear If so:

  form.Visible = false;
  form.Refresh();

  will make it go away

  hi JR

  Maybe the form clase does not has visible Property in .net cf 2.0

  Is it right

  Thank you

  hi JR

  The form1 is a form class

  The develop platform is C# .net cf 2.0

  How to do that.

  Thank you

  hi JR

  my code is below:

  Form1.visible = false;
  Form1.refresh();

  but it can not pass build.

  The notify is the form1 does not own the visible and refresh();

  Why

  Thank you

  Well I have used the Visible poperty, I am pretty sure it's there. I looked up the Form page on msdn for you:

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwindowsformsformclasstopic.asp

  and here is the Visible property for all C# controls:

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwindowsformscontrolclassvisibletopic.asp

  These have been supported since CF 1.0. This just seems really weird. Are you making these calls inside a method which is in a class Maybe you could post your entire class I would be a big help to see exactly what's going on.

  Pretty much the same as normal WinForms, but you'll get slightly different results depending on the OS platform. Check out this link for some more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/netcfPPCtoCE.asp

  hi Rob

  Thank for your link.

  it tell that

  .NET Compact Framework-based applications running on the Pocket PC use the main Form's MinimizeBox property to control their "smart minimize" behavior. When MinimizeBox is set to true (the default), the application places an "X" button on the top of the form, as shown in Figure 1. Tapping the "X" "smart minimizes" the application.

  But which .net cf api can make the form minimizes

  Thank you again.
