c# reshow window by click on notifyicon

Question

I'm new with c# but know c++ and c, my problem is that I can't get my form to show up again after it got minimized to the system tray.

That's the code I used to hide it:

    protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnResize(e);

        bool cursorNotInBar = Screen.GetWorkingArea(this).Contains(Cursor.Position);

        if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized && cursorNotInBar)
        {
            this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
            notifyIcon.Visible = true;
            this.Hide();
        }
    }

How do you try to show it up again? – Wojciech Kulik Jun 23 '13 at 13:04 — Wojciech Kulik, Jun 23 '13 at 13:04
With this.Show() and the OnClick Event. – user2513634 Jun 23 '13 at 15:12 — user2513634, Jun 23 '13 at 15:12
Why would you leave out the code that doesn't work? – Hans Passant Jun 23 '13 at 15:49 — Hans Passant, Jun 23 '13 at 15:49

You need to undo the changes you made to the form to make it hide...to make it display again:

    private void notifyIcon_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left)
        {
            this.Show();
            this.ShowInTaskbar = true;
            this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
            notifyIcon.Visible = false;
        }
    }

thank you for tip about MouseClick. I've tried with NotifyIcon.Click event and failed. – oleksa Sep 18 '14 at 11:32

on notifyIcon click event try:

this.Show();

(I'm not sure but this one could work too: this.Visible = true)

by the way try to handle OnClosing event on your form instead of OnResize

(I have suitable code in home, when i got there ill share it)

You can use this.Show() to show the form again after minimized. If this is not working, just tell me, will provide another solution.

I solved it today: private void notifyIcon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.Show(); this.ShowInTaskbar = true; this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; this.Activate(); notifyIcon.Visible = true; } – user2513634 Jun 23 '13 at 20:10
