Minimize to Tray whilst in a loop, and continue that loop.

[Gui]

Hey guys, I've tried so many things and functions, and still NO LUCk! I need to know how you can minimize to tray, even inside a loop, and still continue that loop whilst minimized to tray. I have just regular minimizing to tray down, but there's no loop involved. So basically, there will be a loop running. Now during that loop, if a button is pressed 'Minimize to Tray', then it will minimize to tray and still continue the loop.

ex()

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#NoTrayIcon
#Include <Constants.au3>





Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)  
Opt("TrayIconHide", 0)

TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYUP,"SpecialEvent")


TraySetState()

GUICreate ( GUI SHIT )
$start = GUICtrlCreateButton('start')
$mtray = GUICtrlCreateButton('Minimize to tray')
GuiSetState()

While 1
  $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
              Case $msg = $mtray 
                     TraySetIcon("C:\Documents and Settings\Dell Customer\Desktop\Desktop Items\zeroicon.ico")
            GuiSetState(@SW_HIDE)
                         TraySetState(1); show
                       TraySetToolTip ("Youtube Viewer - Click to Restore.")
           
              Case $msg = $start
                         start()
        EndSelect
Wend

Func start()

   For 1 To 10  ; this the the loop...

                ;bla bla...

                ; Now if minimize to tray button is pressed, it should minimize to tray, and still continue this loop..

   Next
EndFunc

You might want to hotkey your minimise to tray code with HotKeySet
