Hi
use notifyicon


.... and catch SizeChanged event to check WindowState (Minimized),
then set ShowInTaskbar to false.

If your WindowState changes to other than Minimized then hide
NotifyIcon and set ShowInTaskbar to true.

Cheers!

Hi Martin,

Based on my understanding, you want some sample about how to minimize a
application to system tray.

You may follow the community's suggestion to use NotifyIcon class, please
refer to the below article:
"Creating a System Tray Application"

=============== =============
Please apply my suggestion above and let me know if it helps resolve your
problem.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to post it in the group. I am standing by to be
of assistance.

Hi, My VC++ application does not have a titlebar (and therefore no System menu, no minimize, no maximize and no close button). We have a custom button for minimize and close. When the app is in normal/maximized view, clickinng on the taskbar entry does not minimize the application. Normally (with apps with titlebar), the application would minimize when you click on

hi all, i was wondering how is it possible to add an extra box ( i think they are called boxes: upper right corner ...) in a form that will minimize it in the system tray? You know some applications have a 4th one (apart from the square , bar and X ) which contains a dot and once u click it minimizes the application to the tray. TIA

Anyone have code that creates a button that will Minimize Excel to the system tray. I do not need anything complicated like changing the minimize button or the close button to a minimize to tray button. I have a Form that pops up when excel loads, and I will add a command button called Minimize that I just want to minimize excel to the system tray.

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,...
