Thread: no taskbar , but systray

I'm pretty sure there's a thread somewhere on the board about this.

As for not having it show up in the taskbar, that's easy:

Code:

ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_HIDE);

I have searched the board but i only found example for minimizing to tray

I searched for "tray" and found this link in a post straight away:

It should be perfectly adequate.

Sorry, I made a mistake with the taskbar code.

Code:

ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_HIDE);

Will completely hide the window.

One option is to instead specify WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW as an extended window style with CreateWindowEx(). It wont be in the taskbar, but you wont have a system menu, and the caption bar is smaller.
