I'm trying to add a notification icon to system tray to show my application special status.
If showTrayIcon Then
trayIcon.Visible = True
Else
trayIcon.Visible = False
End If
After hide the icon it still shows on the system tray. Unless the mouse move on it. This can be a problem of Windows OS. I'm asking here, is there a way to fix this in my side?

Executing the exe file,
it will open the program and create a icon on the right-bottom windows status bar.
After processing some functions,
it will call Environment.Exit(Environment.ExitCode) and Application.Exit()
and close the application.
But the icon on the windows status bar still exist,
how to make the icon disappear?
when you kill your application you can set your icon to nothing. So that your application Icon will remove from system tray.
YourForm.Icon = Nothing
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.

I'm developing a Windows Store app for an embedded application where the only input device is a small touchscreen. For this reason I'm developing my own number and text entry controls that match the visual look of the application and work better on the small screen. Is it possible to prevent the Windows 8 on-screen keyboard from appearing when a textbox gets focus?
You can't, it's a user preference as of now.

From Hanselman
Unfortunately there is no checkbox or "just turn it off" way to
disable the keyboard with a supported option.
However, there is a way to effectively disable the keyboard by
stopping the service that controls it.
Press the Windows key + W Type "services," and press Enter Scroll down
to "Touch screen keyboard and handwriting panel" You can either right
click and "Stop" or you can double-click and change it from
"Automatic" startup to "Manual."
I just want to know is that Any other way to get the Settings Charm is active or not.
Because, In my app, the Settings of an app is in the settings charm(If user presses Settings btn in App will leads to open Settings Charm)
In my case, Instead of using the settings btn. user may use short cut (WIN + C) (or) Moving the Mouse to the Right corner of the Screen. to enter into the settings pane means how could i know that?
Is that any way to find that????
Tap in to CommandsRequested on the SettingsPane
Occurs when the user opens the settings pane. Listening for this event lets the app
initialize the setting commands and pause its UI until the user closes the pane.
Now detecting that it's closed again would amount to checking that your window is again activated - see this thread.
I am developing an AIR application where I need to display a Modal Window.
The screen should fill the entire desktop including the Task Bar.
If the user wants to exit the screen, he should press Windows+D option or activate Task Manager.
Can any one post some sample code?
To get rid of taskbar, switch to fullscreen mode with
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
User always can switch to another window with Alt-Tab (on Windows), AIR cannot "lock" screen to prevent that.
Try the example here
http://flex4fun.com/2010/12/01/flex4-popupmanager-example-change-modal-color-and-click-modal-close-popup/
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, TitleWindow, true)
last argument makes the popup "modal".
