Few Questions

[Goat Spirit]

1.How can I change the behavior of the X button on a window.
2.If I do the above what code would I need to make it minimize to the tray.
3.Once in tray. how can I make it so that if you right click, it will bring up a little menu like on other apps. Thanks.

The 'x' button click fires the Form_QueryUnload event where you can check the UnloadMode for it closing because of being clicked. Then cancel the unload and code to minimize to the system tray. Code for the minimize to tray can be found with a search on VBF

[gavio]

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    Cancel = 1 'prevents from closing
        'your continue code
End Sub

try this one!

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
    Me.WindowState = vbMinimized
    Cancel = True
End Sub

The problem with just added minimize function to the QueryUnload event is that regardles of how you are closing your application, the only thing that will ever happen is that it will be minimized. You need a way to both minimize the form it the X is clicked, but, also to completely close the application if so desired. The way to do that is to check the UnloadMode. That will tell HOW the window is being closed.

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
If UnloadMode = vbFormControlMenu Then 'they hit the X
   Me.WindowState = vbMinimized
   Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
 
Private Sub cmdExit_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
