Question

I got a base window made from C ++. I need to do, when I click the Minimize button, the window will be placed in the system tray, and every time I double-click the icon, it will be restored ...

Answer 1

check msdn about structure: NOTIFYICONDATA and function:

BOOL Shell_NotifyIcon (DWORD dwMessage, PNOTIFYICONDATA lpdata);

as well as a demo .

I hope you understand :)

Answer 2

You will need to use Shell_NotifyIcon to interact with the notification area (system tray).
