How to add program to windows system tray?

I heard from someone that in order to add a program to the system tray, I must use JNI. I want to ask whether there is any other alternative. If not, how do I go about doing it using JNI.
Thanx in advance.

You can use the JTray API (Java System Tray API For
Windows) that can be found at http://www.JavaAPIs.com.
It supports several image types, animation, and
display of AWT and Swing Components as pop-ups. I always find it rather annoying when people scour past posts to promote a product that they have a vested interest in.
Especially when they don't point out that that they have such an interest.
Especially when they don't point out that the interest is monetary.
Especially when they do nothing but post ads - never actually answering a single question.
Just me I suppose.

  • How to add a minimize to system tray icon button?

    how can i add a minimize to system tray icon button near the others common buttons usually found on the upper right window bar? (i mean near the _ [] X)
    _ for minimize to taskbar
    [] for maximizing
    X for closing
    i'd like to add a fourth button to the left of the _ button for minimizing to system tray
    like in many programs the fourth button is a dot shaped one that minimizes the program to system tray
    i'd like to add one to my program as well, but i didnt find anything about this kind of buttons neither on google nor on java books
    can anyone help me?
    thank you!

    You can't (easily). The window decorations are controled by the operating system. Your best bet is to change the functionality of the minimize-to-taskbar button and make it into a minimize-to-tray button. In fact, all the programs that minimize to the tray on my computer - about 6 of them - do it this way.
    like in many programs the fourth button is a dot shaped one that minimizes the program to system trayI've never seen this?

  • How to put a Java Program into the System tray

    Hi all of the forum!!
    I have a question. I want to make a monitor program but I don't know how to put the program in the system tray or just to execute the program but automatically (no manual execute), but i dont want that the program appear in a window, just start to function when i start my PC. i hope anybody help me.
    Thanks
    Best Regards
    Bucio, Francisco

    There is a plenty of similar topics here, so you can use the Search on this forum or in Google to find out.
    But shortly, you will need to use JNI or get a ready-to-use library like JNIWrapper (http://www.jniwrapper.com/winpack.jsp#tray), for example, that lets you do what you want.
    Good luck,

  • How Can I Minimize a VI to an Icon on the Windows System Tray?

    How Can I Minimize a VI to an Icon on the Windows System Tray?

    There are some examples available online, using both ActiveX and .NET. Try searching for "tray icon".
    It's been a while since I looked at it, but if memory serves, the structures needed to load an icon through the Win32 API are actually quite complicated and not as simple as that article makes them out to be.

  • How to minimize program's window to system tray [near the clock on windows]

    ???

    If you really mean the system tray (near the clock in Windows as you say), that's not an area to which windows are ever minimized as far as I know. It's an area with launcher/status icons.
    Since you talked about minimizing a program window, I assume you meant to say the TaskBar (at the bottom middle of the Windows screen, between the Start Menu and QuickLaunch buttons on the left and the system tray on the right).
    setState(Frame.ICONIFIED) will minimize (=iconify) any Frame (or subclass) into an icon in the TaskBar at the bottom of the screen. And setState(Frame.NORMAL) will bring it back. It's right there in the API; see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/awt/Frame.html#setState(int)

  • Attaching window system tray icon events to java frame

    I need to bring java frame to front on an event with the icon placed in the system tray. Like if I click the mouse on it.. the frame should come to front.
    Any body who can help, I will really appreciate.
    Thanks in advance
    Zeeshan

    I am very interested in implementing just such a thing with my Java application. I am in the starting phases of this project and ran across your post in my search for info.
    How much do you already have implemented? I.E., can you display the icon but are just having trouble catching the events for when the icon is clicked? Or do you not even have the ability to display the icon yet? I have found the Windows documentation on the MSDN site for the shell function Shell_NotifyIcon(), which is what we want to use but I have not begun any attempts to use it yet.
    If you (or anyone else) have any info or have had any success at all with this yet, I would be very interested in hearing how it works. I'll be happy to share any info I find, when/if I get that far.
    Thanks,

  • How to create a kde panel system tray icon set?

    hi, i would like to perform a modification of oxygen style to obtain a system tray composed by icons only in grayscale or b/n tones.
    i tried editing the klipper icon, by desaturating all klipper.png in the various oxygen directories, and it works fine.
    but in this manner all the klipper's icons used by kde are in grayscale.
    now, if i change kmix icons state, also amarok's and other icons would change?
    is there any method to avoid this conflict?
    bye

If you don't know how to program this in, you're probably out of luck. Would be interested in someone else proving me wrong though.
    hi, i can't program the system tray it would be nice if there were someone that made a patch or something else. however i decolorize some icons (kmix, klipper and kmess) in a first try and this is the (not bad) result:
    http://i.imagehost.org/0045/snapshot16.png
    the thing is, kde HAS options for coloring icons in different places. Problem is that KDE does not use those - at least i never managed to make it work. It only worked if i set the colors globally
    i tried to use this tool: only Desktop Effects works, but it changes both desktop and panel icons....but not system tray icons!!!
    wow

  • How to close Bridge CC to system tray?

    I have read a few posts on this.
    mostly just people arguing about workflow practices. But no clear answers from Adobe.
    Is it possible to enable this feature so it acts the same as Bridge CS5/CS6 did?
    on a windows 7 64bit machine.
    and in an attempt to keep the ignorants at bay:
    - because I want it there. It makes it easier to access with one click
    -I don't want Bridge to live in my taskbar
    -I don't have a 'quick launch' bar in my task bar.
    -It's not a limitation of the OS, because that behaviour functions in CS5
    -I have plenty of resources specifically to keep things open in the background. it's a cheap way to combat slow disk reads. (cheaper than SSD)
    So,
    Adobe. Are you going to bring back any of the features or functions that were removed when you moved to a subscription service?
    like, being able to close Bridge to the system tray... for instance.

    Bridge is running in the background as you have it set up to load on startup (advanced options).  If on Win OS open Task Manager and in Processes tab look for bridge.exe and close.

  • Swing and windows system tray

    could anyone please tell me whether it is possible to have a java swing application running on a windows machine, minimise into the system tray?
    Thank-you.

    AFAIK no. This is because the system tray is rather platform specific. I believe it is possible to have your app tuck itself neatly away in a corner of your desktop, and obviously you can minimise to the task bar. However without soem kind of native addition (maybe a custom launcher?) you can't minimise to the system tray.
    Sorry
    :-(
