I know there must be some ways to show the progress of something in the task bar icon...
However i found there are some tutorials and librarys to accomplish this, I am not really satisfied with them...
Has anyone experience in doing this, can you reccomand a .dll, post some example code?
Thx
If you are on .NET 4, you can use the new namespace,

It comes from the WPF Shell Integration project,

In VS2015 U3 if I try to use XAM.Forms Previewer the interface is empty and have only the "Android Phone" message without my XAML user interface.
I tried to rebuild the solution but the preview still doesn't works!
Whats happened?
Thanks in advance.
To be honest, XAML Previewer still has alot of issues with Visual Studio 2015. I'm encountering the same problem and I just followed the steps from an official Xamarin blogpost. There are workarounds shared by other developers, but it didn't work for me. See link.
But, I'd suggest you try out Gorilla Player. It's an instant Xamarin Forms XAML Previewer. You can also simultaneously view the design without compiling.
Hope it helps!
I want to make a Custom Windows Forms menu. Now, when I say "menu", I mean where the "Exit", "Maximize" and the "Minimize" icons are. I have seen in Microsoft Office software that Microsoft have done a custom WinForms Menu, and in many other software. I have done research for months, and searched so much and have not found anything! I have, found some companies which are currently selling Component Packages with Visual Basic, C# and Visual C++ components, however I do not have the money to buy one of these packages, therefore I need help making a custom Windows Form menu.
I would like to make a Custom Windows Form Menu as a "Ribbon" type. So, It will have a "Ribbon Form Menu". However, I do not wish to use any products or packages to do this for me, seen as I don't have money for them.
I have tried a number of ways for creating a Custom Form Menu:
Used a ToolStrip docked to the top of the form, and set the property of "Left to right" to True, and used buttons or labels for the "Exit", "Maximize" and "Minimize" buttons, although, this isn't really ideal, and I don't really want that anymore.
Used buttons at the top of the Form and docked a panel behind it to made it look like a custom form, but again, this isn't really ideal either.
Anyway, please can someone help me make a custom Windows Forms Menu? It would be nice if you could help me make it in the "Ribbon Style" too!
Please note this post is aimed at the Visual Basic Programming language.. I am using Visual Basic! :D
Thanks.
You have a few options, Firstly you can extend the ClientArea into the NonClientArea
and you would end up with something like: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/44235/Painting-Vista-s-Aero-NonClientArea-in-VB-NET
After doing some digging i found a .net wrapper for the windows 7 ribbon control, I haven't tried using it yet but you might be able to make it work:

Alternatively you can create it all from scratch, setting the FormBorderStyle to None and handling the moving/re-sizing etc by your own code.
As well as painting the Ribbon-like controls yourself.
The latter is a lot more work but is the most customizable, I hope this is helpful and gets you on the right track!
I've been thoroughly looking for a combobox alternative to use for Windows Phone development for a full 24 hours now. The best i've found so far was this
,which is perfectly fine, but i'm really looking for something to work with in Vb.net.
PS: I'm using Visual studio 2010 as my code editor
Anticipated thanks :)
The List Picker is the best alternative to a ComboBox.
You can get the List Picker by installing the Toolkit update: http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/55034
It doesn't matter whether you use VB or C#. The Listpicker is basically a control in XAML, in the design view.
The only difference would be the Databinding syntax in your code view.
Is there a designer tool for ExtJs or Eclipse plugin for it?
I'm developing an interface which is completely similar to desktop environment.
http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.0.7-gpl/examples/desktop/desktop.html
Now I'm modifying the above demo. But it is very hard and time consuming process.
Can somebody tell me about this?
Thank you!
There is Designer from Sencha: http://www.sencha.com/products/designer
Sencha Designer (Architect) should be your first choice. You can find it here. http://www.sencha.com/products/architect
however, if you just want to play around quickly here is another unofficial one for ExtJS - http://www.projectspace.nl/
How do you add an item to the system context menu? I would like to let my users be able to right click anywhere and launch this program. I cannot seem to find it documented anywhere either.
Thanks for your help!
I am coding in vb.net
What you're looking for is creating a Shell Extension Handler for Windows Explorer.

Unfortunately doing this in a .Net application is a bit of a problem due to the way in which the CLR is loaded for COM plug-in style extensions. Raymond did a great job of exploring this problem here
