Minimize To Tray

[BobiusMaximus]

I can't seem to find out which help file makes your GUI minimize down to the system try.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

firstly, dont use #NoTrayIcon in your script but use AutoItSetOption ( "TrayIconHide",1) to not show icon in systray when gui is displayed as it will be on your taskbar anyway, then do a check for when minimised hide the gui (to take it away from the taskbar), and set AutoItSetOption ( "TrayIconHide",0) to reshow the icon in the systray , and then create a menu choice(if preferred) on the sytray icon to restore it.

heres an example, its not perfect but i'll leave you to play with it

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Title="My GUI"

$GUI=GUICreate($Title)

GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

opt("TrayIconHide",1)

Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

if TrayGetMsg() = -7 then ; if icon clicked ($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$GUI) ; put back onto taskbar

GUISetState(@SW_RESTORE,$GUI) ;restore what was minimised

opt("TrayIconHide",1) ; hide systray icon

endif

if NOT WinActive("My GUI") then

GUISetState(@SW_HIDE,$GUI) ; hide from taskbar

opt("TrayIconHide",0) ; display systray icon

TraySetToolTip($Title) ; icon title

endif

Interesting, it works, but I'm kinda confused as to how I add this into my own script.
