problem in minimizing form in c#

[john_zakaria]

hi everyone

i want to minimize my form to system tray in my C# windows application and hide it from taskbar

my main problem is that when i click on minimize it goes to system tray and hide from taskbar

but it goes to the top of start menu

please find the attached what i mean.

1- i want to know where is the minimize button action in my application

my code is as follow

private void Form1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
this.Hide();
this.Visible = false;
this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
this.Opacity = 0;


}
}




so how to disable viewing my form in top of start menu button?

This is usually all you need with a NotifyIcon :

      private void Form1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
            {
                this.Hide();

                notifyIcon1.Visible = true;
            }

        }

        private void notifyIcon1_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("You got me");
        }

Tell me, what properties did you set for your form object, in other words, what is your FormBorderStyle property set to etc.?

Re: NotifyIcon, I seem to remember having to explicitly assign an icon (NotifyIcon.Icon property) to get it to show up. Otherwise it would never appear in the system tray.
