    Display Running Prog' in Notification Area

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find how to display the icon of a running program in the notification area or the task bar.
    Some of my programs do this, but my current program doesn't.
    My program runs in the background and there can be several instances of it running at the same time, I'd like to be able to see how many, if any, are running.
    I thought I'd seen a 'Display icon' tick box somewhere but if I did, it's currently eluding me.

    Poppa.

    Try the NotifyIcon component...

    Drop it on your form, set the icon, caption, etc...

    And don't forget to read the documentation

    Thanks Techgnome

    Thanks Techgnome, I knew I'd seen something somewhere, just couldn't find it.
    That works well...
    Thanks again.
