Application Icon in taskbar---how?

I've looked far and wide, but can't find any info on this.

I have found the property for a FORM that allows you indicate whether, or
not, the form appears in the TASK BAR...

What about if I want an application icon to appear in the SYSTEM TRAY when
the app is minimized ???

Is this possible? If so, how?

I appreciate your input and help in advance... Thank you

like gregory said (above)

it's done via the "notify Icon"

Also, go to Visual studio help, and search on "Notify Icon Sample". There is
actually a sample app in there that will demonstrate how it works... (!)
