How does TIcon Work?

[dixy999]

Hi,
Does anyone have any examples on how Ticon works, ive had a trawl through the free pascal wiki and on google but i cannot figure out how it works and how i declare it. I'm just trying to show an icon in the taskbar when i hide the form and then show the form again when i click the icon. Thanks in advanced.

Also this, from Graphics.pas:

Code: [Select]

TIcon = class(TCustomIcon)
  private
    function GetIconHandle: HICON;
    procedure SetIconHandle(const AValue: HICON);
  protected
    class function GetTypeID: Word; override;
    procedure HandleNeeded; override;
  public
    function ReleaseHandle: HICON;
    function GetResourceType: TResourceType; override;
    property Handle: HICON read GetIconHandle write SetIconHandle;
  end;
