Hello,

 

So I planed a program in C# which works as a prank the point of it is that whatever key the user types it will make a random sound and play it. That is all done however in Console Program, so now after some research I found out that I need to make it an empty windows forms program with Visual Studio then add some C# lines to make it hide from the taskbar. Could someone plz help me. I'm stuck, If you could plz explain where to put the lines of code and everything. Thank you in advance. Also if u have a different more efficient way than to make it hide from the taskbar go ahead and let me know that would be awesome.

Ok it is done here is the solution for you guys!

 

For making it run in the background even though it wasn't focused I used what is known as "keyboard interrupt" more on this link: "http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14485/Low-level-Windows-API-hooks-from-C-to-stop-unwante"

 

 

 

Then at:
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

 

added two lines to make it hidden which are as followed:
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
}

 

P.S because it will run in the background just make sure u comment out the section which adds the drawing. Will make sense when you try it.

 

If you have any questions let me know! This program was made to prank a teacher at my school, and I did get the OK from another teacher and it is finally done. I'm uploading the video on my YouTube channel OptonTech, if you are interested, http://www.goo.gl/bBucnd. stay tuned!
