Minimising to taskbar
« on: May 10, 2011, 11:48:15 pm »
Hey. I'm sure you've all heard this before but I'd like to minimise my software to a taskbar icon. I've read tutorials about it but they seem to be Windows-only and talk about handles, which I don't quite understand, being a Pascal newb.
Could someone please explain how to minimise to taskbar in Windows and Linux as simply as they can or point me in the direction of a clearer tutorial? Thanks.
PS. I HAVE Googled.

See WIKI (found by google)

You need 2 steps.
- Minimizing
- Show in systray

For the latter you can use the TrayIcon, for the first I guess you can set the property ShowOnTaskbar to false when minimized.

Application does not show a taskbar item when all forms are invisible. So you can hide your forms on application minimize and show a trayicon to achieve the desired effect.
