Minimze and show icon on the desktop icon

Maziar Aflatoun

Hi,

Can someone please tell me how I can on a click of a button minimize my Win
form application and show my application icon under toolbars->desktop icons
(bottom right of the screen). I want my application to continue running in
the background.
Thanks
Maz.

Maziar,

You would want to use the NotifyIcon class to do this. It will place an
icon in the tray for you. You can just set the Visible property to true
when you minimize your window.

Also, you can set the ShowInTaskbar property to false on your form to
keep the taskbar from showing up as well.

Hope this helps.
