How does the Win32 API used in C ++ minimize the taskbar window?

Question

Pretty clear name. I am writing a C ++ application using the Win32 API, and I would like to know how to minimize the system tray. I can find all kinds of articles on the Internet about folding into the system tray in C #, Python, even Visual Basic, I think, but for life I can not find a single article on how to reduce something to the system tray in C ++ .

Any help or even a redirect is welcome.

EDITOR: Answer to the question. Once I found out about the Shell_NotifyIcon function, I could easily find this CodeProject article , which is exactly what I need.

Answer 1

All you need is Shell_NotifyIcon . You should be able to work with MSDN, but if you need more help, I’m sure there are millions of places on the Internet that provide samples. Now that you know the name of the API, web search will fill in the blanks.
