How to minimize window into the system tray icon

Hi,
I tried to fin how to minimize the application main window into the right down corner (system tray bar) only as an icon cause I don't want to have it on main bar.
Thx for any ideas.
Wenca

I've already done that, some years ago.
Sorry, but I cannot give you the code, cause it has vanished after a few (!!!) system re-installations ;)
But this was the main idea:
- make a jni-dll
- inside the dll, get the handle to the window you want to minimize
- alter that window's properties
It's rather easy, once you've avoided all pitfalls. I'll suggest http://www.codeproject.com , they've certainly some tutorials on minimizing to the system tray.

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,

My kid put a password to my new ipad how can i get into the system

my kid put a password on to my new ipad 2 and y cannot get into the system what can i do?

You can't get in unless you know the password so Now you have to restore the iPad in order to unlock it. You should restore the iPad to the same computer that you sync with so that you can restore your app data and iPad settings. You will probably need to use recovery mode in order to restore the device as well.
This explains how to restore.

This explains how to put the iPad into recovery mode if a conventional restore will not work.

Accessing the system tray icon

I've been programming a desktop application with ruby/tk. Using the win32api gem, I've managed to hide and set my program icon to work in the system tray. The icon is displayed succesfully and the texttip works etc.
Now I'd like for the app window to maximize when the tray icon is clicked, or show a menu, but I have no idea how to reference this icon. I used the win32api gem to a) minimize (or hide) the current window via ShowWindow() and b) to create an icon in the
system tray with Shell_NotifyIconA().
Now I want to access the window again via the icon. How can this be achieved?

Hello simon,
According to your description, it seems that this issue seems to be related with Rube development with win32api, for this, I think the Ruby forum is proper for it:

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

Something wrong with my email it keep eat up my hard drive. how can i get into the system and delete the mail folder

how can I delete the mail folder in the hard drive.. it keep redownload the emails and eat up my hard drive

If you have your mail set up as an IMAP account, then it will download everything that is in your Inbox (on the online site/server) again and again. You can move your emails to another folder online after you've read them or you can also delete them online after you've saved the ones you want to keep.
If you have your mail set up as a POP account, emails are downloaded once and then reside on your hard drive; you can indicate in Mail Preferences > Accounts if you want the messages online deleted immediately or after one week, etc.

How can I tap into the yellow diskette icon?

FORMS Builder 10.1.2.0.2
I have a data block that is updateable / save using F12 or by clicking the yellow diskette (save) icon. However, is there a way I can tap into that? What I mean is, I would like to Insert into table2_log(with details - date, who on the update) when I click save or F12 in addition to updating table2.

Thanks for your suggestion, MLBrown.
I created POST-UPDATE trigger on the the data block and it works as well.

How do i get the current song to show in the system tray?

howdy y'all,
the system tray icon for itunes USED to show the current song when you hovered over it. now it only shows "itunes". not very useful ... [*grin*]
how do i get the silly thing to show the current song?
take care,
lee

howdy y'all,
53 views and not one idea from anyone. [*sigh ...*] i suppose that means the nitwits in charge at apple have once again stripped a function away for no rational reason.
i'm beginning to seriously wonder if i ought to switch to another music manager. i _really_ like the way smart playlists work in itunes, so i am _very_ reluctant to switch.
anyway, if anyone has a suggestion, please post it! [*grin*]
take care,
lee

Need to Lock down Keyboard Manager System Tray Icon

I run 27 MacBooks at a Secondary School. I have them setup for Windows XP Pro (I'll be setting up the Mac OS over then next few weeks but this is a MS Windows School so lets start slow). Hoever I need to be able to disable the "Boot Mac OS" option on the Keyboard Manager. But still have access to Volume and Eject etc Keys.
Solution: 1
a .adm file so that I can contol what is avilable to students through Group Policy (disable reboot in Mac, Disable Boot Camp First time Run Help Screen)
Solution 2
A Keyboard driver that will make all the Keys work (and remote if possible) but has no System tray Icon
Solution 3
Hide the System tray icon (as say an option in the Boot Camp Control Panel which I can already disable through group policy) then all I need to kill is the anoying first time run help screen.
The help screen is anoying because for each of the 800 student will probably only login into each laptop once each so that will come up every time, because I reimage every 3 months or so.
The reboot in Mac OS would be no problem if it did not perminatly change to boot order and the Mac OS side boot change back is too complicated for most first time Mac users. The way I will be introducing the Mac OS is telling them about the hold the "option" key trick on boot. hence the dummys will get what they are expecting, and the smarties have the option without afecting the dummys.
I relise this is a Devolopers thing but I can find no other way to inform them of the need. I dout I am the only System admin needing this.
Thank You

Unfortunately no that did not help
Using msconfig only stops the Keyboard Manager from running. I can do that simply be removing it from the registry with out the annoying msconfig messages. (good for testing though)
I have also looked into the Hide tray Icon Path but that only tucks it behind a set of “<<”
And the reboot function does Permanently Change the Boot Order. (Not the boot sector necessarily, The Boot Order) to change it back you need to login into the Mac OS and System Prefs Disk Boot Select the Boot Camp Part and Reboot …… Big Pain in neck.
The Keyboard Manager icon does not have an eject option… If is needed for the Eject Key to work (and the Volume Mute, Up, Down, Brightness Up, Down. Note it is not Needed for the Play FF Rew Keys they work fine with the Fn Key)
Here is the test
With no icon showing, or an icon with no reboot option : Press The Eject Key if the CD Ejects Success, I also need Volume do not care about the others as much
As Stated this is a Developer( Programmer) oversite and needs them to put in an option to remove the reboot option from the System tray Icon. Removal of the Icon would also be desirable
Thank You

Dynadock V system tray icon has vanished

I have had a Dynadock V since February, 2012. Recently, the system tray icon vanished. Because it's not there, I can't undock to take my laptop somewhere else. I have to shut down the laptop and then I figure it's safe to unplug the dynadock. I've searched for help on the Toshiba website, and all I get is the statement that the icon won't be present unless the computer is connected and a monitor is attached to the dynadock. Well, the computer IS connected and I'm right now watching the monitor connected via the dynadock. But no icon that lets me undock. The users manual clearly says not to disconnect the cable without undocking, and suggests clicking the "show hidden icons button." I've done that, and the icon is not there. Does anybody know what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
Nancy
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solution. After messing around with this for way too many hours, I've found a fix. Maybe it can help someone else.
In Windows Explorer, I found the application that puts the icon in the tray. In my case (Windows 7) it was located at C:/Program Files/TOSHIBA/Dynadock_II/TosDockApp.exe. Double clicking that put the icon in the tray, but it would be gone the next time I rebooted.
It needed to be in the Startup folder. I'm guessing that once upon a time it was there and got removed for some unknown reason. (a Windows update?) Right clicked on the application, clicked "Create Shortcut," clicked Yes to placing it on desktop. Then used the Start button, All Programs, and found Startup in the list. Right click, Open. Maneuevered the window so I could see the desktop simultaneously, and dragged the shortcut from the desktop to the list of files on the right side of the Startup window.
This solution has survived one computer restart, so I'm hoping it will last.
By the way, copying the application and pasting it in the startup folder didn't work. I had to make the shortcut.
And Toshiba, if you're listening, I'm still ticked off. Someone in Customer Support should have been able to help me with this. Or it should have been on a troubleshooting page. I've been struggling to find a solution to this problem for months. It wasn't hard -- just not obvious to someone (me) who doesn't work with this software everyday.

System tray Icon!!!

Hi all,
I have created an application. Now i want that application to be converted to an exe and i also want to post that into the system tray.
I just need to have an icon in the destop and wen double cliked it has to reach the system tray. On right clicking on the system tray icon i will need a pop window and show certain funcyions like open,etc....
kindly help me...
Thanx for reading....

To generate an executable you need to use an ahead-of-time Java compiler. Here's one: http://gcc.gnu.org/java/. Although that's for *nix you could check whether it's available in cygwin (I'm assuming you need this for Windows). There are some available for windows but I think they're all commercial (i.e., cost money).
Keep in mind that by doing this you're losing platform independence.
As for the system tray icon, can't help you there.

Skype: no system-tray icon with Arch (+ xfce)

When I close Skype (the one and only skype window), skype is still running in the background. When I run Zenwalk with xfce, there is a skype icon as part of the taskbar, which indicates that skype is still running in the background. This icon does not pop up in Arch and xfce.
Here in the forum rdoggsv gave a hint to run "killall skype". However I would prefer to have the system-tray icon (and the right-click to close skype). By the way: skype on debian has this icon as well (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=14874). How can I get this xfce notification icon in Arch, as long as Skype is running?

Are you sure you have system tray enabled on your xfce panel? I don't use xfce, but skype shows up correctly in the tray using trayer... I also remember it working correctly with xfce panel tray in the past so unless the latest version of xfce is buggy it should work without problems.

Disabling Right Click Menus for Network Magic's System Tray Icons for Standard and Guest Accounts

OK, so I want to know how to disable the right click menus for Network Magic's system tray icons only for Vista's standard and Guest accounts? I don't want other users signed in as a Standard account or guest account having the ability to disable the system tray icons for network magic.

Hi, currently it's not possible to disable NM from being accessed by a Limited user account, but that is a good idea.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

JPopup and System Tray icon

Hi there,
I have a problem with my appl. May ý ask you?
I made a jpopup for using both menu in window and in system tray icon.
I used
trayIcon.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
        public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
            if (e.isPopupTrigger()) {
                jpopup.setLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
                jpopup.setInvoker(jpopup);
                jpopup.setVisible(true);
        });showing jpopup on trayicon.
But it is not closing itself. To close it, i have to push any menuitem on it.
Normally popup must close itself if we click mouse on anywhere of screen. But mine is not closing? How can fix this?

regerybets wrote:
I red but couldnt find any solution.There is no solution. To get the behavior you desire you need to use trayicon.setPopupMenu(...) . But that method only takes a java.awt.PopupMenu , not a javax.swing.JPopupMenu . The code you posted is a workaround for using a JPopupMenu on a tray icon. Consequently, the workaround has a few limitations that you wont be able to fix.
EDIT
Well I came up with a workaround for the workaround. I was wondering what to call the new class when I thought "JTrayIcon" sounds ok. Curious, I googled for the name and eventually came across this [blog entry|http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alexfromsun/archive/2008/02/jtrayicon_updat.html] which references [this class|https://swinghelper.dev.java.net/source/browse/swinghelper/src/java/org/jdesktop/swinghelper/tray/JXTrayIcon.java?view=markup] called JXTrayIcon.
Turns out this class uses the same solution I came up with. An zero-sized-focused dialog is used to detect when to close the popup menu. When the dialog looses focus (by clicking on the desktop for example), the java popup mechanism automatically closes the JPopupMenu. So instead of posting my solution (which is exactly the same) I'll simply reference you to JXTrayIcon and the blog.

[Desktop] System Tray Icon: Add back Playback Controls

I just downloaded the latest version of Spotify with the minimize Spotify to the system tray. Thank you for that. You guys are getting there in fufilling my feedback request to keep the system tray icon. When Spotify minimizes to the tray, it runs in the backround and does not use up alot of CPU just like the Spotify minmize to taskbar option; however, you still need to work on putting the play, pause, next and previous controls back in the system tray icon. I'm glad the tray icon is back. It definately makes our computer perform better when we are listening to our Spotify tunes. Congratulations! Hope to see this request get put back in the Spotify system tray icon. Thank you!

I agree play/pause, next and previous are needed.In addition, option to minimize the program to tray by double-click would be very useful.
