Minimize AIR Applications to System Tray.

Hello. Is there any way to minimize our AIR applications to the system tray? Like Internet Download Manager can have it's window closed but still running and appearing in the system tray, and is there also any way to display balloon messages like some programs do? Any one solution would even be really helpful.
Thank you.

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.

Hiding Application To System Tray will cause Modal dialog unblock

I have a JFrame, when I minimize it, it will hide. The user can recall it back by simply double click on its icon, which is created in system tray during application initialization.
However, I am facing problem when I pop up a modal dialog box. (In Linux)
When I pop up a modal dialog box, I am expecting setVisible(true) will always being block, until the modal dialog box is closed.
However, in Linux, user is able to minimize the parent windows, even there is a modal dialog box. During minimization, I have to call JFrame.setVisible(false), in order to hide the application.
A side effect of calling setVisible(false) for a modal dialog box owner (JFrame), will cause the modal dialog box JDialog.setVisible(true) being unblocked and continue for the next statement.
How I can prevent this, to ensure the JDialog.setVisible is always blocked, until the JDialog is really closed? Thanks!

tnx Sarcommand ..i give up on that, i understand the risk if that feature is included..
all i wanted is to make an internet cafe client/server that blocks the client's pc interaction if log time is reached.blocking only the keyboard and mouse.
i have seen so many softwares sets the cursor position within the dialog bounding box only with user and password there. though my other application runs the mouse is still captured on the dialog even the dialog lost focus.
if that would not be possible I'll just send notification to the client, a dialog that does not block any application.
now, im going to try if the client can do som action whenever the server sends alert if the client java app is not the focus. i will post next time what hapens.but if you tried already, if u dont mind posting it so others could know it also..
tnx so much Sarcommand..

Minimizing LabVIEW application to system tray or running it as a Windows process

Hi guys,
Is there a way I can minimize a LabVIEW application to the system tray on the right bottom corner of the screen ? My application will run all the time and all I want is a pop-up when errors or information/reports have to be displayed. I have searched exhaustively and now am posting this question. Please let me know if this can be done.
also, Can a LabVIEW application run as a Windows process? Like it starts up automatically on booting the system?
Thanks!
V
I may not be perfect, but I'm all I got!

If you search for System Tray you'll find lots of people trying to do the same thing and a few places with example code to get it working. But the best method I've seen is actually on the Lava forums.
http://lavag.org/topic/14060-put-your-labview-in-the-tray-once-and-for-all/page__p__86042__hl__+syst...
As for starting a application on startup. Again I expect searching you'll find alot of people saying the easiest way is to create a shortcut to your application, then place the shortcut in the Startup folder in your start menu.

Minimize Desktop software to System Tray, not to Taskbar?

I'm not usually a technical dunce... but I can't find the option switch for this seemingly obvious request.
I want to have Desktop software (6.0.0) running whenever I have my computer active; but I don't want to have it take up space on my taskbar (Windows Vista Home Premium). I'd like it instead to minimize to an icon in the System Tray. But I can't figure out how to make that happen.
When I minimize the software, it continues to appear as a button on the taskbar.
If I click the Close button (red X) as some programs use, the software closes completely.
What obvious place am I missing to be able to make this happen?
Thanks for your help.
Barbara

Thanks, Parlabane. I'm disappointed to know that the feature isn't there; but I guess it's some comfort to know that I'm not quite as much of a dunce as I feared I was.
Will hope for a development team that catches this BGO (Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious) from their users.

Minimize to System Tray?

Is there any way to minimize the java application to system tray?
Did some research and most of the hits returns JTRAY. An API which requires payment.
Please advise. Thanks.

Did more googling and I am intimidated by the results. It seems to require the knowledge of C++ and the usage of JNI to access windows API? Can anyone else shed more light to it please? Thanks.

How to minimize itunes to system tray

In previous versions of iTunes, you were able to minimize itunes into the system tray rather than to the windows taskbar. I have not been able to get this to happen again in the past couple of versions of iTunes. Could you give me a breakdown on what or how to do it? I am running windows 8.1.

Do you mean the part of the taskbar immediately to the right of the Start button (with the little icons for programs)?
If so:
1. Right click on the taskbar. A menu will pop up. If there is a checkmark next to "Lock the Taskbar," then uncheck it (so it is unlocked, so you can make changes).
2. Press (and hold) the Control key, while you click and drag the iTunes icon that is on your desktop to the taskbar.
3. Re-lock your taskbar.

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?

Minimize DM6 to system tray

Earlier versions of the desktop manager allowed you to minimize it to the system tray, but I don't see this setting in DM6. Does anyone know how to do this?

I found a way to Minimize BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6 to the Windows System Tray.
I purchased a new BlackBerry Torch 9800 and a new feature appeard on the Desktop Manager called "Wi-Fi Music Sync". Wi-Fi Music Sync will allow you to sync music between your BlackBerry and Desktop computer via a wireless network.
Activating the Wi-Fi Music Sync will allow you to minimize BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6 to the Windows System Tray.
I realize that this is not a solution for all but it appears that BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6 was designed to work with the new features of OS 6.
Just wanted to let you all know that it is possible to minimize BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6 to the Windows System Tray.

Dynamic system tray icon tooltips?

In AIR, can the system tray icon tooltip be dynamically
generated?
I want to dynamically display some data whenever the user
hovers over system tray icon, but it doesn't appear I can do that
with air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.tooltip ?
for example, I tried to dynamically return the current
date/time but it didn't work:
air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.tooltip =
function(){ return Date()};
My other thought was to create my own custom "toolip" using
NativeWindow when a user hovers over the systray (but would like to
get it to work with
air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.tooltip if
possible)...any other suggestions/tips/thoughts?
thanks

I don't believe this is possible. A better strategy may be to
change the tooltip when the state of your application changes such
that the text should be updated (rather than in response to a user
event). However, I don't think the tooltip display will change
while it is already open.
Using a native window wouldn't work in this scenario, either.
The difficulty is still detecting when the mouse is hovering over
the icon. It is also not possible to definitely locate the icon on
the desktop, although you can guess using the usableBounds property
of the Screen class.

When Spry is finished displaying all (repeated) rows within spry:region you can have an notification by using an Spry.Data.Region.addObserver(). Indicating the HTML generation is finished.
You can use spry:state for this as in
<div spry:state="error" align="center">Error Loading Results!</div>
<div spry:state="loading" align="center">Loading Results...</div>
<div spry:state="ready">Data results</div>
Is it possible (and how) to get an notification when a row within Spry.Data.Region has been processed. So I can perform some JS actions, per row in Spry.Data.Region?
Not sure what you want to do here.

Itunes disappears when minimized to system tray

i have itunes set to minimize to the system tray, but when i do, it doesn't go to the tray, it just disappears
my music is still playing but itunes just isn't there
if i open task manager, it isn't in the applications tab, but it is in the processes tab as itunes.exe
the only way to bring it back is to click "new task" in task manager and type itunes.exe, but i don't want to do this everytime i want to change songs or something
anybody experienced similar?

Yes. In itunes, edit/preferences/advanced. Check the boxes "show itunes in system tray" and "minimize itunes window to system tray".
Then, drag the itunes shortcut to the startup folder in the start menu. Right click the new shortcut in the startup folder and select properties, then the shortcut tab. In the "run" drop list select "minimized". Itunes will open when your computer starts and minimize to the system tray.

When creating the dock and the system tray ?

Hy,
i have an desktop air application. I would like what is the best moment for creation the dock and the system tray: when the WindowedApplication dispatch CreationComplete event or when ?
thanks

I don't think there are any initialization dependencies for the underlying AIR dock or system tray icon objects. Flex may have its own depenencies, but the docs don't list any. CreationComplete should be safe. Otherwise, you can create them whenever your application is ready to respond to any menu events that these objects might dispatch.

[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.
