VS Code extension how to detect if sidebar or terminal clicked? - vscode-extensions

I am trying to detect if the user clicks on the sidebar or the panel in a VS code window in order to develop an extension. Is there a way in VS code to detect where the user has last clicked/what is active at a moment?

XamlSpy prevent me from doing actions

How can I start inspect only when needed ?
I tried CTRL+Shift without success...
How can I start inspect only when needed
According to this article, Ctrl+Shift is worked for XAML Spy 2. By testing on my side, I guess you are using XAML Spy 3.
In that case, when you are using the XAML Spy desktop app to inspect, the "Select Visual" button which is for moving your mouse to the app, and click to select a visual in the user interface, is highlighted by default. You may need to click it to not highlight the button to stop inspecting, and click again can start inspecting again when you needed.

vb desktop icon different from application icon

I am trying to set the icon of my application. I set the icon once before by changing the property of the form and the property of the project. Now I am trying to change the icon to a different one. The icons of the form and the application have been successfully changed, but when I copy the application to the desktop, the desktop icon still remains the previous one. Can anyone please tell me how to change the desktop icon?
Thanks,
Kai
If you change the icon properly on the form it should get visible in the Taskbar immediately as soon as you start your application.
However even if you did change the project icon properly and therefore your executable has the correct (new) icon (check that in your \bin-folder) you can get the wrong (old) icon from the desktop because you system might retrieve it from the icon cache.
Please check the following link to understand that topic and to see how you can enforce windows to renew its icon cache.

Hide System Tray Icon of a 3rd party exe

I'm trying to hide the system tray icon of a program that I'm calling with my program. I'm currently working on a program that provides guides and quick resources to other members of my team. I've got the program to load an AutoHotKey file at launch but the AHK icon shows in the System Tray/Notification area of the task bar. I would like to hide that icon.
I'm currently working in VB.net
So, I don't want to hide anything from the taskbar, I just want to hide the icon of AHK from the system tray.
I have done some looking around and seen some things with the Shell_NotifyIcon but I'm not sure how to implement this.
Figured it out. AutoHotKey has a built in feature to hide the tray icon.
HideTrayIcon
Place that inside the script and it will not show it in the system tray.

How to prevent a dialog to popup while build?

I have a project that use a dll which always shows a popup window while building. It's very annoying and I want to get rid of it.
The problem is the popup window prevents me from doing the automate build because nobody can click on the automate build server.
If you know popup window Title you can write a simple application to find window's Handle and simulate Button click.

Change Icon on Task Bar for VB.net

I have a program in vb.net which is ready to be published.
Its a small detail, but I'd like to change the icon on both the published app shortcut on my desktop, but more importantly on my taskbar (like where the chrome circle shows up).
Is there any way to accomplish this?
To change the main icon for your application, go to the "Application" tab under the project property page, and change the "Icon:" combo box.
