winform: minimise window to systray ?

Tom,

Basically, you would minimize your form normally, and then set the
ShowInTaskBar property to false, which will prevent the form from being
shown in the taskbar.

You also need to place an instance of the NotifyIcon class on your form,
so that it can show something in the system tray.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi,

What is the event triggered when the winform is minimised ?

thanks

Tom

Tom,

Hook up to the SizeChanged event, and in the event handler, check the
WindowState property to see if it is minimized.
