It's difficult to answer your questions because I have no idea how much you know about programming. Give us an example of what you're trying to do.
I can tell you, though, that making Tabs would require GUI and I believe there are already standard functions to set things to the tray.
I'm rathe new to c++ but I know extensive php, javascript, and perl.
Then, I'd imagine you do alot of web programming.
I'd say start with some basic C++, go through the tutorials and get a good knowledge of functions, classes, and inheritance. Then go buy yourself a windows C++ Programming book and learn from that. It should explain tray functions and other windows GUI.
One more thing I'm currently using the Bloodshed compiler you reccomend any better free ones?
No, I don't.
Just so you know, you are a long way from making GUI's. You have to study C++ extensively, which is not an easy language, and then once you get a good handle on C++, you have to delve into windows programming, which is another order of magnitude on the "confusing scale".Quote:

Think of it like scoring with a chick.
Web programming is like scoring with the ugly chick that wouldn't even get invited to a family reunion.
Structered C++ is like scoring with the kind of chick you might end up marrying.
...and GUI programming with C++ is like scoring with Heidi Klum.
It's possible to get there, you just need a lot of time and effort working at it.
... the most important thing to remember is, using a roofie will make it alot easier to reach your goal.
actually it's more like getting horribly wasted, scoring with Heidi Klum and then waking up beside Roseanne Barr....Quote:

If you want some nice free compilers as alternatives to Dev-CPP (which is really just GCC), then are a few I like, such as Open Watcom, Borland, and The Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit.
As for your "hide" question, that's kind of dependent on the system, but on Windows look up on MSDN the Shell_NotifyIcon(); function.
I'm not sure he's looking for command-line compilers.
there's also the nice visual c++ express edition which includes the IDE, but I'm not sure it supports projects other than windows console...
