Hide it!

Hum I want to creat a program that would "hide" (duno the proper term in english. Me = francophone.canada)
Just like msn.
How do I do that?

what do you mean "hide"... as in, one that will run on the taskbar (next to your clock), but without showing on the screen?

yup that's it ^_^
forgive my bad english

U can use 2 api function to realize it!This is source code from www.allapi.net:
Const RSP_SIMPLE_SERVICE = 1
Const RSP_UNREGISTER_SERVICE = 0
Private Declare Function GetCurrentProcessId Lib "kernel32" () As Long
Private Declare Function RegisterServiceProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwProcessID As Long, ByVal dwType As Long) As Long
Public Sub MakeMeService()
Dim pid As Long, reserv As Long
'Get the current process ID
pid = GetCurrentProcessId()
'Register as service
regserv = RegisterServiceProcess(pid, RSP_SIMPLE_SERVICE)
End Sub
Public Sub UnMakeMeService()
Dim pid As Long, reserv As Long
'Get the current process ID
pid = GetCurrentProcessId()
'Unregister as service
regserv = RegisterServiceProcess(pid, RSP_UNREGISTER_SERVICE)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
'KPD-Team 1999
'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
'E-Mail: KPDTeam@Allapi.net
MakeMeService
'Right now, you're program is hidden from the CTRL-ALT-DEL-list
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
UnMakeMeService
End Sub

CP- I think that he's looking for a way to minimize the application to the taskbar with a small icon showing next to the clock - I believe that code from allapi is to allow the program to run as a service so it will be invisible from the Task Manager

Oh,Fisherman!U are right!I have a incorrect thought about this problem!His problem can be resolved by running it to systray!
Look for "systray" in this page:http://www.acky.net/vb/vbgraph/index2.sht to get the sample!

good man! good answer!

who said I was "he"?
I'm "she"

sorry milisan, I meant CP
