I'd like to use a scrollbar like the one who shows up if you press the sound symbol on windows 10.
In my research I only found toast notification or notifyicon which I think isn't the right thing.
Picture:
Do I overlooked something? Is this even possible in winform or WPF? and does someone know the right name for that?

I want to load the windows on-screen keyboard as part of my application (like importing some dlls or something), not with Process.Start(). Just like this article explained - https://blog.tombam.net/implementing-textbox-with-on-screen-touch-keyboard-part-1/ . Only this solution doesn't work for me (the keyboard doesn't pop-up when clicked on the textbox). Is there another way? Or does anybody know what to do with the project that's in the link to make it work?
Thank you for the help in advance :)
I'm working on a project and we'd like to add a notification count the way skype does.
A number pops near the icon in the windows taskbar to indicate how many messages the user have received.
This is the result we're trying to achieve: http://it.tinypic.com/r/2guclkk/8
Looking around the internet haven't led to anything, so is there any API I can use in C# to achieve this?
I solved using the WindowsAPICodePack: Windows API Code Pack: Where is it?
The method is SetIconOverlay():
public void SetOverlayIcon(IntPtr windowHandle, Icon icon, string accessibilityText);
If you want that in taskbar, you might want to use overlay icons, which are described here, if you are using WPF: How to add dynamic text as Taskbar Icon overlay?
If you are using Forms you might want to use this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.shell.taskbariteminfo.overlay%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
If you want to do the same in system tray, it is a duplicit question: How can I overlay system-tray icon ? WPF, and the answer is probably to draw the desired number at runtime to the icon and change the system tray icon.
I'm relatively new to the development for the Windows Phone, and currently i am trying to see what i can do with the application bar in the bottom.
I currently have 3 items in the bar, and now i would like to "highlight" one of the items when the app (Asynchronous) finds there is a new item.
Kinda like you have with your email, that it shows on the same icon that you have a new mail..
kinda like this:
http://easystepstowp.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Custom-Icon-Design-Pretty-Office-9-Email-alert.ico
Can i place the "exclamation" on top of an existing icon or should i replace the icon with the one that shows the alert?
What is best practice in this case? solve this in the xaml, or the xaml.cs...
Thanks in advance for any insights anyone has to share!
I'm working on a project in which I need a form to stay on the desktop at all times. This would mean that it should still be showing even if a user clicks Win+D to hide/show desktop.
If anyone uses Rainmeter, they will know how meters stay on the desktop despite clicking on the show desktop key.
I really don't mind how to do it, as long as it works. I've looked through hundreds of examples but half of them don't work..
Maybe someone could help me out.
Thanks in advance.
I fired up C# and created a Windows Forms application. I set the forms' TopMost property to True, and its MinimizeBox property to False.
When I run the app, the Window is always on top, even if I use Win+D or click Show Desktop.
I got the idea from here: What is the difference between Minimize All and Show Desktop?
If you want something to stay on the desktop, you should put it on the desktop. Look at using Windows Gadgets which can do what you want.
Does anyone know a good, well tested, widely used open source Android-like toast control form WinForms?
Like this:

I know it could be solved by tricking pop up forms with timers etc, but I don't wanna reinvent the wheel, so, if there is a nice solution, I'd use that.
Thanks!
I suggest Form Fade In/Out Effect and Notification Window and NotifyWindow: A different MSN Messenger style notification window
