Minimize to Tray

[RagnaroktA]

Is there a way to have a GUI minimize to the system tray when the minimize button is pressed?

All I can find in the beta is tray menu functions... nothing about minimizing the GUI to the tray... Am I just blind?

Updated from a post a while back:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
Global Const $TRAY_DEFAULT  = 512

#NoTrayIcon;at least not icon at the very beginning
Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0)
Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1)

GuiCreate("Minimzes to tray")
GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW)

$foo = TrayCreateItem("Restore Window")
TrayItemSetState(-1, $TRAY_DEFAULT)
TraySetClick ( 0 );don't show menu item when clicked
TraySetToolTip("Click to restore window...");Does this function work?

While 1
    $trayMsg = TrayGetMsg()
    If $trayMsg = $foo Then
        GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW);show GUI
        Opt("TrayIconHide", 1);hide tray icon
    EndIf
    
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE Then
        GuiSetState(@SW_HIDE);hide GUI
        Opt("TrayIconHide", 0);show tray icon
    EndIf
WEnd

lets suppose there are 3 or more GUIs & if you press:

$GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE on GUI1 then all GUIS = @SW_HIDE, else = @SW_MINIMIZE ONLY the window where the $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE was pressed.

So I was experimenting, but this is really confusing ( I tried to use same principle as the $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE in this sample but as you see someting realy wierd happened ), also wierd things happened when i tried to set if winactive .. then @SW_HIDE etc. To be honest my logic is at its end hire atm. so all ideas how to explane this wierd behavior are welcome

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE
             $Hwnd = WinGetHandle('')
        If $Hwnd = $GUI1 Then
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
        Else
            gUISetState(@SW_MINIMIZE)

Small tweak to get that tooltip working

Move the line to "after visible tooltip"

Updated from a post a while back:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
Global Const $TRAY_DEFAULT  = 512

#NoTrayIcon;at least not icon at the very beginning
Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0)
Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1)

GuiCreate("Minimzes to tray")
GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW)

$foo = TrayCreateItem("Restore Window")
TrayItemSetState(-1, $TRAY_DEFAULT)
TraySetClick ( 0 );don't show menu item when clicked
; TraySetToolTip("Click to restore window...")   ;Does this function work?  

While 1
    $trayMsg = TrayGetMsg()
    If $trayMsg = $foo Then
        GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW);show GUI
        Opt("TrayIconHide", 1);hide tray icon
    EndIf
    
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE Then
        GuiSetState(@SW_HIDE);hide GUI
        Opt("TrayIconHide", 0);show tray icon
       TraySetToolTip("Click to restore window...")  ; The Tooltip text is only changed when the tray icon is visible.
  EndIf
WEnd

LeCarre,

Thanks for taking the trouble to post amended code, but we discourage necro-posting - 5 years since the previous post is far too long!
