minimize program on taskbar

Hi all,

How can I minimize my program on taskbar. I need to add a button to the main window and when I click the button, the program must be minimized to the taskbar(right corner of the monitor, near the windows clock)
thanks

Hi emirhan,

use sysiconadd and sysicondelete.

christoph

SysIconAdd("D:\My Projects\AKEAD-BCK\01745-32-5.ico","","test")

I used that code behind of a button, when I click the button I can see the icon on task bar but program does not minimize. How can I minimize the program on the icon and when I click the icon the program must maximize

Emirhan,
I use this:

WinStatus(MyWindow..Name,Invisible)
SysIconAdd("your.ico",YourPopupMenu,"YourHint","SysIconProc")

Together with:

PROCEDURE SysIconProc(nMessage is int)
// Show main window
IF nMessage = WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK THEN
WinStatus(Window1,Active)
END
//Left button down: WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 513
// Show popup on left mouse click as well
IF nMessage = WM_LBUTTONDOWN THEN
OpenPopupMenu(YourPopupMenu)
END
END

Hi Arie, I used your code with some changes. Thanks.

Best regards
Emirhan.

where im going to put this on my main form ?

" WinStatus(MyWindow..Name,Invisible)
SysIconAdd("your.ico",YourPopupMenu,"YourHint","SysIconProc")
"

Mitchell,
I placed it in de global declaration section of the window.
But I think you can put it everywhere you want. Try a button first, to see what happens.
Also: when generating the executable, don't forget to include the icon-files.(OR distribute these files with your executable)

I still didn't get it, how to run it when i minimize the form? the main form is MDI form, if the user minimize it, I want to iconize the form.

Ah, now I see. I didn't read your post that well.

You can use the Resizing-event of the window, together with the WinSize() function,
to trap the minimize-action of the user.
