Avoid showing form in windows taskbar

[Corbinde_Bruin]

Hello all,

When I have a form open in ArcMap, it creates another page in the windows taskbar (makes it look like two instances of ArcMap are open, see pic).

How do I change this? I'm using vb.net and calling the form like this:


Dim makeform As New frmMake
makeform.ShowDialog(System.Windows.Forms.Control.FromHandle(My.ArcMap.Application.hWnd))

It doesn't happen when you use native forms like Identify.

Thank you,
Corbin de Bruin

ShowInTaskbar is a property of the form.  Set it to False in Properties window in Visual Studio.

Thank you Neil.

I definitely should have researched that one more before posting. I apologize.
