To elaborate:

Add a NotifyIcon component to your primary form class.

Add Event handlers for the Click and/or DoubleClick event for the NotifyIcon component and do something like the following to restore your primary form.


this.Visible = !this.Visible;
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;




Add an event handler for the forms Deactivate event and do something like the following to hide the primary form.


this.Visible = (this.WindowState != FormWindowState.Minimized);
