I have a program I have been working on the past two days. it's a very simple program but it still needs testing like any other.

-----
Requirements:
This has been tested on windows xp ONLY. Can't promise anything for other systems
You need .net framework 2.0
-----
I need help with:
I would like anyone who can help me work on an update system, to please contact me ASAP.

Comment: the theme may be redone, and some images are missing

-----
Testing:

Please test things to see if all goes good. Be sure to test every file type and see if all of them show up correctly in the application
-----

Basic description of the application:

A simple vb.net application to modify html, htm, php...txt files without too much junk inside the application itself.

-----
The future:
I want to add syntax highlighting
I want to add numbers for each row for easier navigation
I want to add a wysiwyg editor and a design mode for website designing.

EDIT: Got everything. Version 1.3

All help is apreciated.

Updated twice. First time was a button mover, second time was a bug with the button mover. And another bug was fixed


Version 0.8 now has an options menu that allos users to decide whethere to hide the program in system tray or not when it is minimized.

Please update.  Version 1.3

I have the .net framework... 1.1 .. I'll download the latest later and then i'll test it.. When i have an opinion i'll edit this post

It works, but now it's just notepad with a green color

About those menu options, that's a good idea

You can make it Radio Checked by setting RadioCheck on True, and after that use this code to toggle between checked and unchecked. And to enable or disable those buttons

code:

---

Private Sub mnu_klikkert_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnu_klikkert.Click
        If (mnu_klikkert.Checked = True) Then
            mnu_klikkert.Checked = False
        Else
            mnu_klikkert.Checked = True
        End If
    End Sub

About not showing up in the taskbar so only in systray set this

code:

---

Me.ShowInTaskbar = False

---

So when you minimize it, you set this and it will minimize to systray.

If you do this make sure you can open the program again by doubleclicking the systray icon or add Open to the systray menu or both

Also it's using 21 MB of memory , that's A LOT!, but I don't think you can do much about it

How do I set it that when it minimizes, it shows in systray, otherwise it doesnt?

and also, how would I go about bringing the app back to the taskbar, and having the systray icon hide again?

Also, how would I go about making a setting so that a user can decide if they want it to minimize it so systray or not?

Not a major bug but...

When I click exit (from the button on the form and from the File menu), the icon remains in the systray after the app exits. Now, I dont know much about VB.Net but I *think* you need to put some code in on the form's exit procedure to remove the icon, if you haven't done so already.

Other than that I like I'll keep playing with it.

if I can have the icon not be there unless the form is minimized, then this should fix it.

edit: and thanks

How about:

code:

---

    Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Resize
        If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
            NotifyIcon1.Visible = True
        Else
            NotifyIcon1.Visible = False
        End If
    End Sub

---

Is this the sort of thing needed? (Again, I'm really not experienced at all with .Net so it may not be 100% correct )

Of course using this then the NotifyIcon1.Visible property would have to be changed programmatically at runtime at the form's load procedure (NotifyIcon1.Visible  = false) or by setting its property in the VB IDE.

this worked. Now I just need to have double click on the systray to bring up the program again

edit: figured it out. Just adding the open thing to that menu and releasing new version in first post

edit: The file has been updated. Gonna re update with wut I need.

edit once again: first post updated, now time to update here:

edit: updated once again. I got everything I wanted, I just need an icon now. Please report any bugs and errors ASAP.
edit: had a bug, fixed it. Current version: 0.6
edit: other bug. Fixed to version 0.7

Currently working on an options menu that will allow users to chose whethere or not to minimize the program to systray, or minimize it normally, whenever they click the minimize button

Version 0.8 now has an options menu that allos users to decide whethere to hide the program in system tray or not when it is minimized.

The program doesn't hide in systray for me.

When minimizing the systray icon does appear, but the taskbar "bar" , also stays.

code:

---

Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Resize
        If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
            NotifyIcon1.Visible = True
            Me.ShowinTaskbar = False
        Else
            NotifyIcon1.Visible = False
        End If
    End Sub

---

and at the code for the Show the program button on the systray menu you should set Me.ShowinTaskbar on True again

this has already been fixed for the next build which will no longer be beta. It will be a final version and the theme will be changed to blue. Just waiting on an icon for the program to release it
