systray

[chris1990]

i cant seem to find this code on the internet, so there might not be one.

I am trying to hide the system tray so just the clock and the taskbar is showing.

Please let me know if it is possible, and if you know the code please post it.

I'm not sure if theres an 'offical' way to disable the system tray, but you could do either:

Hide the window (I believe it's caption is "Notification Area"), using spy++ to determine its handle, then create a new window over it, with plain blue. (If you just want to prevent it from being used).

You could close the window, but it would most likely leave a 'hole' in the taskbar.

You could use SendMessage API to find each icon in the toolbar, and permanently remove it from the system tray. (I'm not sure if it is restored when the computer is restarted)
