Problem minimizing Access to System Tray

HK
I've been trying to minimize my Access database application to the
system tray.
I'm using Dave Ashish's code from
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0045.htm and I also have the AddrOf
function in place. I don't get any compile errors at all.

The problem is that I don't have any menu from the icon after I get it
minimized to the tray. How are you supposed to get the application to
come back up? Or use menus in the system tray?

There is a sample created by german MVP Philipp Stiefel.
You may ignore that the homepage is in german language - you will find all
code comments in english language :

Hello all, I wrote a shell program a few years ago in VB6 that needs to be modified. The problem I have is this: The SysAdmin uses this shell in place of Explorer, so there is no taskbar. When his users run PC Anywhere from the shell, and minimize it, it minimizes to the system tray. With no task bar, there is no system tray, so there is no way to restore the PC Anywhere window. The shell starts PC Anywhere using ShellExecute. I...

Hi, I have a form with a tray icon. However, when I minimize the form, it stays visible - not in the task bar (I have showintaskbar property set to false), but in a form of a rectangle sitting above the task bar. Can't figure out why that happens - it looks very ugly... Any ideas ? Zeljko

Hi, Does anybody know how to turn off the animation Windows does with a window as it's minimized/maximized to the taskbar? I have an app which, when minimized, syncs to any other open instances of the app and tells them to minimize. If I have more than a couple instances open, the user ends up waiting quite a while for all of windows to minimize, since each minimizing animation is done consecutively and not in parallel.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
