Minimizing to the system tray?

Private Sub Form1_SizeChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _
                              ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.SizeChanged
    If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
        Me.NotifyIcon1.Visible = True
        Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
    Else
        Me.NotifyIcon1.Visible = False
        Me.ShowInTaskbar = True
    End If
End Sub

Ok thanks so much...............

You would also probably want to handle the DoubleClick event of the NotifyIcon and set the WindowState of the form to Normal. That would cause the SizeChanged event to be raised, thus executing the code to hide the tray icon and reinstate the task bar button.
