Hide when minimized

[jamesd0142]

Hi all,

Wondering if it is possible to hide my app when minimized?

The say way task manager works when you click > options > hide when minimized.
Or the same way outlook is running next to the syetm clock etc?

Cheers James

Hi,
u can try by this following code:

Private Type NOTIFYICONDATA
cbSize As Long
hWnd As Long
uId As Long
uFlags As Long
ucallbackMessage As Long
hIcon As Long
szTip As String * 64
End Type
Private Declare Function Shell_NotifyIcon Lib "shell32" Alias "Shell_NotifyIconA" (ByVal dwMessage As Long, pnid As NOTIFYICONDATA) As Boolean
Dim tr As NOTIFYICONDATA
Private Sub Form_Load()
tr.hWnd = Me.hWnd
tr.uFlags = 2
tr.hIcon = Me.Icon
Shell_NotifyIcon 0, tr
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Shell_NotifyIcon 2, tr
End Sub
 

if u get success, reply me.
