Application disappears from taskbar without any reason

Visual Basic Language

Eelko Heuvelmans

Hi All,

I'm having problemens with my VS2005 .Net2.0 VB.Net Windows forms application.

When I start the application and work with it for a while it somehow disappears from the taskbar.To get the Application button back on the taskbar I use Alt+Tab to switch to the application and voila,.. the taskbar button is back.

In my code and form I can't seem to find anything strange.
ShowInTaskbar is set to true
Formborderstule = Sizable

It is an MDI application that is used for administrative purposes on sql databases. Nothing special about that.

Has any of you experienced something like this before
Maybe someone has a clue what to look for

Any suggestion is appreciated!
Regards,
Eelko

Sounds odd..

Do you only get this behavior on one machine or can you confirm it is happening on multiple machines

That is always one of the first things I check to determine if its an issue with my program, or with the computer/.net framework installation it is running on.

I have the same experience, randomly throughout the year, with Microsoft Excel. It disappears from the taskbar, een with the file still active on the screen. I also use Alt Tab to get it to reappear (sometimes).

Any ideas what causes this on multiple computers would be appreciated.
