Question

I know there is an event for when the size changes, but is there an event when I restore the window (click on the taskbar after it has been minimized). This is visual basic 2010. Im new to visual basic, though I do know C and java.

Answer 1

Not persay you will need to generate something conditionally. Two things I can think of. The first is to handle the Activated event for the Form and test if the WindowState is Minimized if so then do what you want to. The other would be to override the OnLocationChanged Method Checking for WindowState also.

Private Sub Form1_Activated(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Activated
    If WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
        'Your Code here
    End If
End Sub

or

Protected Overrides Sub OnLocationChanged(e As System.EventArgs)
    If WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
        'Your Code here
    End If
    MyBase.OnLocationChanged(e)
End Sub
