Question

How to enable the windows minimize to the taskbar animation in a VB.net form with borderstyle set to None?

Answer 1

you must add a new button or add:

Public Class Form2

    Public Sub NameMethod()
       
        ' minize form
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized

    End Sub

End Class

Answer 2

Hi @lironlee ,

There are two solutions that can be considered.

1. The simpler way to do it is setting the FormBorderStyle back to Sizable just before a Minimize , and then back to none aftewards.
2. Use the AnimateWindow function instead.

Best Regards.
