System Tray Query

[Nick Gilbert]

Hi All,

How can I get my app to have it's icon in the system tray rather than the task bar? I've looked at the CSystemTray code on the codeguru site but it seems more complicated than it needs to be really. I can't work out how I would code it so that all that the icon does is to is minimise or maximise my app.

I just want to keep the app out of the way as it is a messaging tool that will be running all the time.

Thanks....

Nick......

They are two different things

1) System tray is rather easy to implement, look at Shell_NotifyIcon()
2) To remove the program from the task bar, I assume you can hide it....
