Detect attempt to minimize to Systay (Intercepting)

[omarswan]

Hi,
Is there a way to detect when a user is trying to minimize to the Systray or the Taskbar. It wpuld be somwthing like intercepting windows message.

A perfect example is used with download management software (Getright, Godzilla etc.). They automatically intercepts the windows message when someone is trying to download a file.

I hope you get the general idea ..

Thanks

You can use the form1.WindowState and check if it's minimized (vbminized), normal (vbnormal) or maximized (vbmaximized). You could ask the value of this property in the resize event. Tell me if you need some help with he code. I managed to make my form invisible and send it to the system tray when I minimize my form.

I just want to point that you don't minimize anything to system tray. I suppose if someone have a answer for you, then he/she also could tell me how I could get an event when something changes in systray.
