winform: minimise window to systray ?

[Tom]

Hi friends

I was wondering how can I minimise a winform into the system tray ?

Thanks

Tom,

Basically, you would minimize your form normally, and then set the
ShowInTaskBar property to false, which will prevent the form from being
shown in the taskbar.

You also need to place an instance of the NotifyIcon class on your form,
so that it can show something in the system tray.

Hope this helps.

Tom,

Hook up to the SizeChanged event, and in the event handler, check the
WindowState property to see if it is minimized.
