Asking for VB program please..???

Dear Experts,

I use Windows XP Pro SP2...

I have a program (created by my own) that is opening on desktop during start up...my questions are:

1. Within the program interface, there is a button called "Finance"..which is when I click that button, it will opens "finance.exe"...So, what kind of codes should I write to open "finance.exe" please...???

2. What kind of codes, when I click "X" (close) or "-" (minimize), that program will go to the start up icon (which is small icon on the right below on the Windows...)..???

Please help me... ;)

Thanks for your kind helps..

Jennifer :)

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
 
Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, "Finance.Exe", vbNullString, "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub

Do you want to minimize the program or put it in the system tray?

Here's a link to some systray code (code to add an icon next to the clock). It's not that easy, so give us a shout if u need a hand.

A good systray example:

I do not remeber where I got it from. Hope it any use for you. I still use it. It is very stable and works very well.

There is mentioned in the code that: 'the form must be fully visible before calling Shell_NotifyIcon
Nope!!! Doesn't have to. Well. At least not to me.

With some code-tuning you'll be able to make it very nice. Good luck... :wave:
