Hi,

How can i tell when a form is minimizing or closing by use of the button in
the top right of the form?

Attach an event handler to the appropiate form event.

ok i got FormClosing event, but i cant see one for minimizing?

also is there a way, when the form is closing, of actually stopping it and
just hiding it, i want to have a notify icon, and when the form is closed
(so to speak) it just hides itself until the icon in the systray is clicked.

thanks

In the FormClosing event you can do this:

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender,
FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = true;
this.Hide();
}

The e.CloseReason property will also tell you if the form is closing by
the x button or some other reason.
