Is there a way to programmatically minimize a wind

Question

What I'm doing is I have a full-screen form, with no title bar, and consequently lacks the minimize/maximize/close buttons found in the upper-right hand corner. I'm wanting to replace that functionality with a keyboard short-cut and a context menu item, but I can't seem to find an event to trigger to minimize the form.

Answer 1

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

Answer 2

private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
     if(e.KeyChar == 'm')
         this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
}

Answer 3

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Me.Hide()

End Sub

Answer 4

FormName.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

Answer 5

There's no point minimizing an already minimized form. So here we go:

if (form_Name.WindowState != FormWindowState.Minimized) form_Name.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

Answer 6

this.MdiParent.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
