Avi,

Check out the NotifyIcon class. The about page for the class
documentation in MSDN has an example which will show you what you are trying
to do.

Hope this helps.

ok i found half way, this is the code that when i press double click on the
sys tray icon the application minimized

private void notifyIcon1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender,
MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Normal)
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

// Activate the form.
this.Activate();
}

now i want the code that if i press again double click on the sys tray icon
it will lunch back the application and if the application is lunch and i
press the sys tray icon again it will minimized, how i do it?

Thanks

if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;

i try your suggestion earlier but it cannot work like that

private void notifyIcon1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender,
MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Normal)
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
this.Activate();

if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
this.Activate();

}

if i try this it cannot minimized or normal because he do the code
together, any other suggestion

Hello Avi,

Check the current state and use only one case

private void notifyIcon1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender,MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Normal)
{
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
}
else
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
}

this.Activate();
}

wrong with my code?

private void notifyIcon1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender,
MouseEventArgs e)
{

if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Normal)
{
this.Hide();
}

else
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)

{
