Application in taskbar
« on: July 07, 2011, 05:03:44 am »
Hello.

I have searched a forum for some time but still can not find answer on a simple question - is it possible to hide the form from the taskbar? (either on minimize or at all)

The methods provided are not working (even the simplest ShowInTaskbar=stNever)

Please advise, is this feature just not yet implemented or am i doing something wrong? What is the correct way of performing this?

P.S. I am using Win XP SP3

What do you want to do?

a) hide the application form from the taskbar but show it in the tray
b) hide the application form from both the taskbar and the tray

I'm asking because there has to be a way of interacting with the application when it is not visible on the screen. Especially if you need to stop it.

If you want (b) above, then you are better off writing a command line application that works like a service. A service application runs in the background & is not visible at all except if you look at the list of services (type "services.msc" in the Run dialog on Win XP).
