Why the image changes in the taskbar when 2 forms are open?

Question

Why the image changes in the taskbar when 2 forms are open?

Claude Larocque 666

Both forms FrmBilling and FrmJewelleriesVendors have their ShowInTaskbar set to true.

When I open the FrmBilling and look at the taskbar, the form image is display correctly (See Image1)

Then I open a second form FrmJewelleriesVendors with the ShowInTaskbar set to true as well

Now when I look on the taskbar I have 2 forms opened but with the same images even if the names are correct. (See Image2)

Why is the FrmBilling display the same image then the FrmJewelleryVendors instead of keeping is own image?

Thanks

Hi @Claude Larocque , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

If a form is parented within another form, the parented form is not displayed in the Windows taskbar.

Do your two forms have a parent-child relationship? According to the documentation, if it exists, it may not be displayed properly.Form.ShowInTaskbar

Thanks Jiale, however, there is no parent-child relationship with these 2 forms, I start FrmBilling and FrmJewelleryVendors from a button in the FrmBilling, is it what you called a parent-child relationship?

Hi @Claude Larocque , Yes, the window you start in this way is a child window of the previous window. That's why it doesn't show up.

Thanks, I have problem to understand the logic, I have a form FrmBilling and I have a command button to open the FrmJewelleriesVendors so how can I open the second form in another way, that form has to open where, when the application started?

The FrmBilling is open first, then, the FrmJewelleryVendors, so the image of the FrmJewelleryVendors is going into the FrmBilling image on the taskbar, someone understand my question?
