Hi all,

in the following sample supplied by Mickeysoft you can minimise the application by clicking on the button, but i would like to minimise the application by clicking the minimise button or close button like on messenger

To minimize or hide the form with using the buttons,
use
Base Class Events - Closing

Private Sub frmMain_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
        Me.Hide()
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
        e.Cancel = True
    End Sub

Instread of

Me.Close

(unloads the form) use Me.Hide[/CODE] to hide to screen or

Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized

to minimize the window.

Use the

e.Cancel = True

to tell the form that its not allowed to shut down

To exit the application use the

Application.Exit

command

Hi Nigh™a®e,

it more or less what i am looking for, my first post weren't to weel written

in the sample you can minimise the application buy pressing the minimise button and then app gets minimised to the task bar as per normal, but i the sample you have a button named "minimised" or "sys tray" and then it gets minimised to the sytem tray

but what i would like is to have the standard minimise button to minimise the app to the system tray


hope this explains a bit more

p.s. how many times can you have the word minimise in your question

[King_Ging]

if i want to have an msgbox displaye when the form is minimised how can i o that

this shouls help me enough

many thanks
