Hiding a minimized application in windows taskbar

Hi,
I have a small app (JFrame) running in windows. When it's minimized, I'd like it to go into the right-side of the Start taskbar, as a little icon (Like MSN messenger does). Has anyone impelmented this? If you have, can you tell me where to start.
Thanks

Are you actually talking about the Systray? If so, camickr is right about the fact that it cannot be achieved in pure java. One of my applications actually uses that feature and I found thel solution at http://systray.sourceforge.net/.

When I try compose an email, just get compose window icon stuck in windows taskbar can't actually enlarge it and use it

Ok, details of installation below, so when I try compose an email, I just get a compose window icon stuck in the windows
taskbar can't actually enlarge it and use it. If I restart in safe mode with all addons disabled, then it works fine. But
If I restart normally and manually disable addons/plugins, then close and start normally again i.e not safe mode, it
breaks, so does not seem to be an addon or plugin but rather something with the configuration.

When in fullscreen mode, bottom of Firefox window ends where Windows Taskbar would be, were it not in autohide mode.

Firefox version: 4
Windows Version: XP-SP3 (automatic updates)
My Windows Taskbar is in autohide mode.
When I launch Firefox in windowed mode and maximize the window, it takes up the entire screen.
When I move my mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen, the Windows Taskbar pops up.
When I select Fullscreen mode in Firefox, the top of the window behaves as it should: Menus disappear, and the toolbar area autohides, reappearing when I move my mouse pointer to the top of the screen.
The bottom of the Firefox window, however, jumps up to where it would be if the Windows Taskbar were not in autohide mode, leaving a black space. While I can move my cursor over this black space, when I reach the bottom of the screen, the Windows taskbar will not unhide, forcing me to use the Windows button if I want to execute some other command.
If I minimize the Firefox window, then select it from the taskbar, it returns to fullsceen mode and takes up the entire screen (no more black space), but I still cannot get the Windows Taskbar to pop up by moving my cursor to the bottom of the screen.
While it may seem nit-picky, this is a dealbraker for me. I set Firefox to run in Fullscreen mode, and expect it to do so properly, without having to go through all of these steps. Furthermore, since I use Windows Start button for everything (my desktop has nothing on it but the Recycle Bin), I often use it while browsing (launching other applications, using the Control Panel, or looking through filesystem, among others).
I am extremely pleased with all other aspects of the browser, right down to the toolbar area not disappearing when my mouse pointer happens to slide off of it after I place my cursor in the search box, and while I would be sad to lose all of these improvements, I will return to Version 3 if I must.
Thank you very much for your time.
~David Morrissey~

I'm sorry, it seems I spoke too soon. The original problem is back: Black stripe at the bottom of the screen. :-(

Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.

Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.
I work in full screen almost exclusively ... the toolbar and the URL are still displayed while in full screen.
Before this version (30.0), when I minimized Firefox to the taskbar so that I could go to the desktop or to Windows Explorer, when I finished what I was doing and re-selected Firefox it would go back to full screen. Now, it does not go back to full screen. I can still see the taskbar. I have to press [f11] two more times to get back to full screen.
I have tried with and without addons enabled. Same behavior. I have reset Firefox ... same behavior.
I'm using Firefox 30.0 and Windows 7 (64 bit).
Thanks.

Hi moose53,
Just tested it with a Logitech keyboard and you are right, what you are describing is not expected behavior. I see you do not have any add ons, however does this also reproduce in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If yes, try a new profile [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

Adobe Acrobat plugin creates a fake entry at Windows' taskbar

Hello. Since a few Firefox and Acrobat Reader versions back (not sure which ones), whenever I open a PDF file in Firefox, Adobe's plugin creates a bogus window at my Windows' taskbar. It has the default unknown application icon, with no title, and it's useless clicking or right-clicking it, as not even a menu shows up. In fact, it is nothing, but it is annoying.
I am sure it is Adobe's plugin because it doesn't happen neither when I open a PDF with Firefox's built-in reader nor when I have Adobe's plugin enabled and set but not fired yet. Also, the fake window entry goes away a while after I close the last PDF tab.
I have uploaded a screenshot here: http://s2.postimg.org/rms7ywuvt/screenshot_firefox_adobe_acrobat_reader_plugin_f.jpg

It's hard to know what is happening here.
As a test of how Firefox+Acrobat works in an uncustomized Firefox, could you create a new Firefox profile and try that PDF again. In addition to bypassing current add-ons and custom settings, it should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Close Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]. Any time you want to switch profiles, close Firefox and return to this dialog. Two tips:
* When creating a new profile, I recommend using the default location suggested; if you prefer to use a different folder, to avoid data loss, do not choose any existing folder.
* I recommend backing up all profiles before using the delete function, so you can recover in case the wrong one gets deleted.
Does the plugin work any better in the new profile?

Update deletes pinned bookmarks in Windows taskbar

I have an URL pinned to the Windows taskbar by calling the Firefox.EXE with a command line parameter. I also have Firefox itself pinned to the Windows taskbar.
Every time there is a Firefox update the pinned URL gets lost, i.e. the icon in the task bar is removed. Since this does not happen with other applications pinned in the same way when they get updated, it looks like this is a Firefox and not a Windows issue.
Does anybody know a work around? Maybe there is a way to remove the write permission to this pinned item. (Unfortunately I don't know how Windows stores them.)
And does anybody know how to report this as a bug to Firefox development? The support site only led me here.
BR, Wolfgang

You can raise a bug in Bugzilla.

I upgraded laptop to Windows 8.1, but when I open Acrobat Pro XI, my Windows Taskbar disappears. I must restart PC.

Hi there,
This is exactly what it says in the title.
I got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 (from W7), but when I open Acrobat Pro XI, my Windows Taskbar disappears. I must restart PC in order to get the taskbar back.
Has anyone come across this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Paul ,
I would like to know does this happen in case of Acrobat only or while accessing any other applications as well ?
Are you able to see the taskbar before you access any application?Or it just disappears when you launch Acrobat?
You can try repairing Acrobat once and see if that fixes the issue.
If that does not work ,you can try uninstalling Acrobat once and install it again.
Please refer to the following as well and see if that helps.
Regards
Sukrit Dhingra

Firefox Windows taskbar tab cannot minimize by clicking it but can be maximized

I can open Firefox, and everything works fine. The problem is that when I minimize Firefox by clicking on the Firefox tab in the Windows Taskbar, it can be minimized but when I click on it again it won't maximize, instead I have to bring Firefox back up by right clicking the tab and pressing "maximize".
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Just today....haven't changed or downloaded or deleted anything.

I do set it as floating. I mean if I can see a part of the VI window, I could active it to the frontend by the click the window. But if I cannot see it, I cannot take it to the frontend by clicking the tab at the taskbar.

With Firefox 35.0 maximized, my windows taskbar does not appear when I move the curser ot the bottom of the screen

With all other applications running maximized (full screen) the Windows taskbar pops up from the bottom when the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen, but now with Firefox. Why not, and how do I fix this?

Are you in fullscreen or maximized for Firefox?
There is an entry that show toolbars when in fullscreen you can check if its on in the about:config page, but if you have never been there before do not worry about this troubleshooting step. (I do not know if you have or not :-))
With those hypothesis it is possible to see if this happens in Safe Mode if you have any add ons or extensions that may affect this feature: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

Move Java Frame into Windows taskbar notification area (system tray)?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has written a service-like application in Java running (and appearing) in the Windows "taskbar notification area", instead of running in the convential Windows taskbar.
I'm able to add an icon to the taskbar notification area (frequently errorneous called as the 'system tray') by using some native code that uses win32 Shell_NotifyIcon(.. , ..). However, I'm not able to 'couple' the window (i.e. the Java frame) to the new icon in the taskbar.
My icon is shown in the area AND the frame is shown as an application in the taskbar... I would like to 'remove' my Java application from the taskbar and place it 'as an icon' in the taskbar notification area.
Has anyone had experience with a similar problem?
Many thanks!
Jasper

If all you need is to make the frame not visible in the taskbar as well than why don't you activate the hide() method? cature the minimize event and activate the frame.hide(); method. And in the system tray make the frame visible by frame.show();

Cannot install AIR 2.0.4.13090 sidecar application on Windows 7 64 bit

Our team is experiencing consistent failure to install our AIR-developed application on Windows 7 64 bit. It fails to install, but apparently eventually can be installed only after a complete uninstallation of AIR and subsequent install attempts are made.
The following suggestion from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403150.html has also been tried, but errors persist:
Installing an AIR application displays the error message: "Sorry an error has occurred. The application could not be installed. Try installing it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author." (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
This error may occur during installation if the user has turned off User Account Control (UAC) operating system feature and is a standard or restricted user. From Control Panel, Open UAC and enable it. A reboot maybe required, once complete, re-try the installation.
The error messages are as follows:
Name of Our Application
Sorry, an error has occurred.
An error occurred while updating the application. Try updating it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author.
Error #0
Sorry, an error has occurred.
The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer from the application author.
This is a boxed product which is slated to ship very soon. The QA team is rejecting the builds because of this issue, which puts the entire project in jeopardy. Timely help is appreciated.
Here is a sanitized, excerpted section from the end of the install log (it is extremely long):

Thanks very much for keeping this issue alive.
Let me restate the issue:
We have a AIR 2.0.4.13090 sidecar application. Installing the application for the very first time seems to work. Any uninstall or update after that runs into issues on the problematic Windows 7 64 bit machine. The installer logs all point the finger to Windows Installer having problems writing to the temp directory.
We've gone through many, many things trying to resolve this, including resetting administrative access to the temp directory and flushing the temp directory out entirely. I'm reporting this news secondhand, so it's not possible for me to directly relate the exact measures taken, step-by-step. The ONLY thing that reliably worked for running and installing updates on this AIR application was the following:
1) Create a new administrative level user.
2) Log in with that user.
3) Disable firewalls.
4) Run the updater.
5) Log back in as normal user, delete temporary user.
if the user account created in step 1 is not deleted in step 5 and is used to attempt a further update or uninstall, it will fail. This seems to tell me that AIR is able to utilize the temp folder via Windows Installer correctly only once. After that, it dirties this directory somehow and is unable to use/write to it, and subsequent uninstalls/updates fail with error 0.
Again, the failure all show msi issues writing to the temp directory. They result in an "Error 0" alert dialog in AIR.
