This can not be done using the standard C++ and this group is for
standard C++ questions only. Try asking in some newsgroup under the
microsoft.publi c.vc.* hierarchy.

This newsgroup doesn't deal with Windows specific issues, you should be
asking / consulting a relevent newsgroup for your issue.

For the record, if you create a CWinApp based application you might notice
the following in InitApplication :

// Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open
CCommandLineInf o cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLin e(cmdInfo);

rightclick "Parse CommandLine" and "go to definition"....
and the "#define SW_HIDE 0" found in Winuser.h should give you a clue.

-Thanks in Advance

Hello guys, I have done a small utility and would like that an image be displayed on the the windows tray (on bottom-right of the screen). Also I would like that when one clicks on X (close) the application be minimized and only the tray icon be visible. When one clicks on the tray icon the application shoud return to its normal status (normal/maximized, depending how it was when was minimized).

I've been trying to minimize my Access database application to the system tray. I'm using Dave Ashish's code from http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0045.htm and I also have the AddrOf function in place. I don't get any compile errors at all. The problem is that I don't have any menu from the icon after I get it minimized to the tray. How are you supposed to get the application to come back up? Or use menus in 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,...
