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.
