Hiding the frame in Task Bar Tray

My Problem is
When i minimize the frame, i want to position it in the task bar tray.
(which is on the right side of the task bar where all icons date,volume etc are shown)
Eg: Suppose if we minimize the yahoo messenger,it will be shown in the task bar tray.
Thanks
Varma

take a look at http://systray.sourceforge.net/
You have to do the following to hide the frame when it's minimized:
    final JFrame frame = new JFrame("test");
    frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
      public void windowIconified(WindowEvent e)
        frame.setVisible(false);
    });use the systray api to create the systray icon and menu, and you're finished

Iconize in the task bar tray

Hello,
Is there anyone that know how I can put an icon in my task bar tray (or quick launch) in windows 2000 that refers to my running java application?
Thank you for your help !!

Hi!
Hava a look here:
http://www.amherst.edu/~tliron/jni/DesktopIndicator/DesktopIndicator.html
You need a JNI/C++ library. Since Java wasn't designed to exclusively work with Windows, it is not able access its specific features such as the system tray directly.
The classes and the DLL above are excellent, I used them to create an animated tray icon.

When taking a picture with home button and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar??

When taking a picture with home and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar?? (the search bars)

No, but you can use any picture editing tool to crop out the bars. (Many are free in the App Store.) Me personally, I use PhotoPad, which I use to crop as well as rotate the screen shot. Takes less than a minute to do both with PhotoPad.

The shortcut icon I had in the quick lanch task bar has disappeared and I cannot find it. Help!

The icon I had for Firefox in the quick launch task bar has disappeared. I am running XP Pro on a AMD dual core desk top computer. My internet provider is Verizon.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I clicked on the icon

In my case, the icon is still in the quick launch, but it's just the icon that windows uses when it can't find the right one. When I locate the firefox exe file, it has no icon

Cant change tap to click settings because boot camp does not appear in the drive or task bar.

Late 2008 macbook pro 8Gb ram 750Gb HDD 2.8Ghz intel duo-core with OSX 10.9 (partition with Windows 7 ultamate)
I am experiancing a whole host of issues with installing windows on my mac, frst of all the genuine product key that I bought directly from microsoft does not work. Also my trackpad is partially broken so I can only tap to click which means that I have to use my external trackpad to use the computer in windows 7. Therefore I have tried to set windows 7 to tap to click but could not find the way to change that and the fourms said I could change it throuh the Bootcamp settings but bootcamp doesent appear anywhere in the search field and the icon is missing from the task bar and so is the arrow for showing hidden icons. As it is I can't get anywhere with this machine. Will someone please help me!

Recently updated FF to the latest version. Now when I click on a link in an e-mail letter using MS Outlook FF opens but remains on the bottom task bar. I have to click to open the link and then click on the task bar icon to maximize the window.

Why in firefox4 does not show the envelope in task bar for webmail notifier? I cannot check my mail because cannot find the notifier envelope

I just upgrade to Firefox 4, but why I cannot find the web mail notifier envelope in the task bar?

Hello there, DianelCarter.
From the sound of it, you're not seeing the banner at the top of the body of your email that has incorrectly been marked as junk. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some steps to try if you're not seeing those features:
Mail (Mavericks): If junk mail filters aren’t working correctly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14937
Ultimately, if the basic steps don't help resolve your issue, you may want to reset the Junk Mail preferences to give the database a fresh start:
If the problem persists, click Reset in Junk Mail preferences to reset the junk mail database to its original information. Resetting the database removes everything Mail has learned from you about what is junk or not junk, so you need to help Mail identify junk mail again.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Hiding the Frame Border

Hi group,
You know when you start up Mozilla you get a little picture which flashes up breathing fire? I wanna make a frame do that! I've got it so it flashes up a picture for 3 seconds and disposes of itself. From the main application it is run as a thread. I run it by calling
new showflash().
Here is the code ...
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class Flashpan extends JPanel {
private ImageIcon m_icon;
public Flashpan () {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Border Title Bar");
frame.setSize(669, 525);
Container content = frame.getContentPane();
content.add(this);
m_icon = new ImageIcon("image.jpg");
/*flash the window*/
frame.setVisible(true);
/* 3 second delay */
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
/*kill the window*/
frame.setVisible(false);
frame.dispose();
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
m_icon.paintIcon(this, g2d, 10, 10);
public static void showflash() {
new Flashpan();
Now the question is How do I make the window borders disappear. I have only one object contained in the frame, the picture. I want everything to disappear without killing it except this picture object? How do I do it? Im sure many people must have done this!! Maybe my code sucks.. pls forgive me :P
Ive been looking at Inset() BorderLayout() etc.. etc.. but cant seem to work it out or find an example. I thought maybe it was frame.Inset(0,0,0,0) but I was wrong.

Bingo, Ta for that....
Complete code is as follows (screen centers now)
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class Flashpan extends JPanel {
private ImageIcon m_icon;
public Flashpan () {
JWindow frame = new JWindow();
frame.setSize(640, 480);
/* Get the size of the screen */
Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
/* Determine the new location of the window */
int w = frame.getSize().width;
int h = frame.getSize().height;
int x = (dim.width - w) / 2;
int y = (dim.height - h) / 2;
/* Move the window */
frame.setLocation(x, y);
Container content = frame.getContentPane();
content.add(this);
m_icon = new ImageIcon("image.jpg");
/*flash the window*/
frame.setVisible(true);
/* 3 second delay */
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
/*kill the window*/
frame.setVisible(false);
frame.dispose();
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
m_icon.paintIcon(this, g2d, 0, 0);
public static void showflash() {
new Flashpan();

When i upgrade to the next version of firefox, all of the web sites i had pinned to firefox on the Windows 7 task bar disappear

I accept the offer to upgrade to the next version of Firefox

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Making a message pop up appear on the task bar

hi all ! Im making a pop up with a message so the person can know that the product is registered. I use this code
javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Nueva Cita registrada","Medex",javax.swing.JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);The thing is that I want to make the pop up to appear in the task bar because sometimes it appear but behind the JSP and it looks like the program hanged or something.
Thanks !

There are two steps in running a JSP:
1. The server converts the JSP code to HTML and sends it to the client.
2. The client (your browser) displays that HTML.
Your Swing code there runs in step 1, on the server. At the moment you are running your server on the same machine as the client, right? So you see the popup window on your machine, because it is the server. But in real life the client would not see that popup window. It would appear on a different computer, in a room where nobody is watching it.
So, no, that can't be done. And no amount of changing it will make any difference. It's just wrong. If you want the client to see something, it has to be done in the HTML that the JSP produces. No Java code there, only HTML. If you really want something to appear in the browser's task bar then there may be some Javascript function that can do that.

Using internet banking the gold security lock is missing from bottom right task bar

I am disturbed that the 'safe & secure ' gold padlock symbol that usually appears when using Internet Banking is no longer down near the bottom right Task Bar area. I always log in via the 'Address Bar'. Any reason ? Many thanks.

Ideally you should focus on the new identity button that is explained in the previous posts.
However, there is an addon that adds the padlock icon to Firefox 4. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
Because the status bar at the bottom of the window is no longer shown by default, this addon displays the padlock inside the identity button. For users who are trained to look for a padlock, this might help them to move their attention to the new identity button.

Task Bar Mahem - Changing Icons on M$ task bar

Hi,
In Windows XP (Windows NT), when you open multiple windows of a program, the programs become inconisized and grouped together under one menu icon with a name. For instance, opening Windows Explorer multiple times creates a menu on the task bar that displays the Windows Explorer Icon, the number of windows open, and the title of the program--Windows Explorer.
However, when I run my Java programs multiple times (or make many frames within a program) and iconisized them, they appear on the task bar as a menu with a little white window icon with a blue title, the number of windows (frames) open, and "java" or "javaw" beside it.
I know how to add icons to frames. What I don't know is how to keep my icon and application name on the task bar when windows (frames) or applications become grouped. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Spent 4 hours looking all over Sun's site, trying to find an answer. I've even tried to download some open source programs and tried to disect them to find the code. Sample code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
J Apprentice

I know how to change icons on frames and task bars. It's when they frames become grouped that the task bar icon magically chnages.

How to remove the Options and Task from the toolbar

In the FLM portal initially we can see 'Options' in the menu bar after we log in. Below it there is 'Tasks' and 'Reports'. on clicking 'Tasks' and new menu bar 'Tasks' can be seen, under which 'New Tasks' option is there. When we click on 'New Forms' it shows the list of forms and when we select the desired form it opens the interactive form.
My problem is when this form is opened on the header the 'Options' and 'Tasks' bar can be seen, under which the adobe menu bar comes (Print, Save, Zoom etc.) . This 'Options' and 'Tasks' how to remove from the interactive forms page.

How to block task bar notification for a specific program?

Hello all. We are rolling out a new web based program that uses a thin client. This thin client checks the server on a regular interval. If it finds a new version of the thin client, there is an alert in the Windows 7 task bar.
The problem with this is it prompts them to install it. But as our users do not have Admin rights, it will fail. Is there a way (GPO perhaps, registry key?) to block just this notification? We do not want to disable all notifications.
We are running Windows 7 SP1 (with a few XP pcs) and Windows 2008 R2 domain level.

Hi,
This new version installation is pushed by server, such as SCCM. How does it dispatch this update in your domain?
To block this notification, you can configure this setting on server. As for me, you cannot block it in thin cilent.
To know more about how to disable notification, you can redirect to windows server forum.
Thanks!

Items on task bar have a strange problem.

As you can see in the following picture, the items on task bar (especially the windows) are not touching the bottom. I mean if I click the area below the blue underline, it won't open the window and is just like clicking on an empty area on the task bar.
I am finding this very annoying since it forces you pay attention to where you are clicking. My task bar settings is set to show small icons and I just updated to build 10061. Is there a solution, like registry edit that will solve this issue.
- W.H.

Some folks like the Taskbar to be smaller and thus less intrusive. The problem is not the choice of small buttons, but the fact that the overly large Taskbar no longer shrinks to fit them.
