Taskbar button context (pop-up) menu question

Anonymous

Hi All,
Anybody know an easy way to do the following:
Right click a minimized form (a button down on the taskbar) & have the
same pop-up menu appear as appears when I right click my "non-minimized"
form window?
Thanx, Gary

What appears when you click a minimised icon is the System Menu. This is the menu you get when you click the icon in the top left of any unminimised window.



To achieve what you want I think you would have to setup a callback function using Windows API calls or possibly the AddressOf operator to modify the System menu *only* when the window is minimised. Search some of the specialised VB sites for something like "Modify System Menu".
