Only way you can close it is by killing the process, and I presume you block access to the task manager

Great thanks again

EDIT: Problem... I can still close it by the red 'x'

I do heartily appologise for being such a pest

There shouldn't even be a close button. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Hi there,

Sorry to but in, but i was just wondering if it auto docks to the bottom right on any resolution?

If so how did you go about doing that?

Thanks.

A quick peak at the disassembly reveals Screen.GetWorkingArea() was used.

It doesn't dock it, it just moves it to the bottom right of the working area (that is, the desktop minus the taskbars and any docked windows).

Code:

Rectangle workingArea = Screen.GetWorkingArea(this);
int x = workingArea.Width - this.Width - 5;
int y = workingArea.Height - this.Height - 5;
this.SetDesktopLocation(x, y);

The "-5" just adds a little bit of padding away from the edges of the screen.

I'm pretty sure you need to do this after the form has loaded, although I'm not sure what setting the start position to "manual" does but I cba to try

Trigger · 17 Oct 2006 at 20:28

Really sorry to make another request but is there any chance you could stop it being moved around the screen?

Thanks
