Minimizing to system tray.

How do I make my program to minimize to the system tray?
I've done some google searching prior to posting this, but haven't found anything straightforward.

So just strip out the popup menu code from the code snippets given in the article.
The mouse listener code is already there... it's fairly straightforward and no one here will spoon feed you code

  • 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.

  • Auto starting iTunes - minimized to system tray.

    Is there a way to have iTunes startup in the system tray? I have a business process using Video iPods where my clients have asked about this capability. There are a number of 'internal' podcasts that our sales force subscribes to and having iTunes start in the system tray allows this process to work background rather than 'in your face'.
    <I've tried putting it in the startup group minimized, but it has no effect>.
    Thanks for your help.

  • 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 do I get iTunes to startup minimized to the system tray?

    I have iTunes (7) starting up with Windows -- in a normal window. How do I toggle it to start up with Windows, but minimized to the system tray?

    I don't know about toggling it, but if you right
    click on your iTunes shortcut and select properties,
    on the Shortcut tab, you will see a Run: drop down
    menu. This gives you of a choice of window - normal,
    max and min.
    The right-click menu on the icon (in the system tray) doesn't have a 'run' choice.

  • Is there a way to run iTunes on startup minimized directly to the system tray?

    Ive been trying to tweak registry and even created a .bat file in order to fix this but still not working.
    Since iOS 5 can sync wirelessly, is there a way to run iTunes on windows startup minimized directly to the system tray?
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Correction...
    It's a bit of a kludge, but copy the following two lines and paste into an empty Notepad window. Click Save As, change the Save as file type to All files and call the script MinimiTunes.vbs. Place the script or a shortcut to it into your startup group. iTunes will still open as full screen but will minimize shortly thereafter.
    Set iTunes=CreateObject("iTunes.Application")
    iTunes.Windows.Item(1).Minimized=True
    Alternatively, download the script MinimiTunes from my site.

    There are many third party softwares available to convert any application to run from system tray. Try utilities like Trayit! . You can download this software from http://www.teamcti.com/trayit/trayit.htm

  • 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!

    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.

  • Minimizing Appliaction to system tray

    I want to enable my application GUI to minimize to a system tray icon on windows, just like MSN messenger and many other applications do, so that task bar space is saved, and the user can maximize the application back to normal just by double clicking the icon. Please let me know how can i do this. i.e what API to use. I would appreciate if u please refer a link for further information.

    I agree 100% with you that people should search before posting, and further that those people who do post before searching generally don't deserve help. My point is that when you post "search the forum" instead of just ignoring them, you don't help the cause - and you cause an additional problem of cluttering up the responses for those who do search first. If you must post "search the forum", think kindly of the many, many other people who found your posting by doing just that, searching the forum - and give them an answer, or a link to one. Keep in mind that your posting will be seen by the original people in this thread and readers perhaps 100 times - but is likely to come up in search results over the next few years many, many more times. Which means your typical reader (myself included) did search the forum...
    What if you come up with 20 posts asking the same question, with no response? That argument is setting up a straw man - I doubt very, very much that you'll see a real question posted 20 seperate times without some real response to it. I know all of the questions I've posted have been answered quickly and intelligently - the questions most likely to be ignored are those where the answer is either obvious, or easily found, or blatant attempts to get someone to do their homework...

  • When Firefox is launched, my system tray is disabled(masked by some kind of gray mist), then I can only acitvate the date and time properties by double-click, any left click does not make sense. Did anybody encounter this situation?

    I can not activate the minimized window task manager, even when I end the procedure of taskmgr.exe, its minimized icon is still there in the gray masked system tray.

  • 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.

  • X,Y position of your system tray icon

    Hi
    In my app i have a functionality by which i can minimize my desktop app to systray..On minimizing my app, an icon is created in the system tray..now is this possible for me to get the x,y position of that icon located in the system tray..i want to display notification pop up above it..with a pointer pointing the system tray icon.
    Thanks

    Just try this...
    Once you get proper character's index, use the following code,
    myTxtFld.getCharBoundaries(index); // this will return a rectangle.
    myTxtFld.getCharBoundaries(index).x; // ===========> will provide x coordinate and
    myTxtFld.getCharBoundaries(index).y; // ===========> will provide y coordinate.
    Good luck !!

  • 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)

  • Adobe Reader minimizes to system tray when printing as an attachment in Outlook

    I have a user that is running Adobe Reader v10.1.2, and MS Outlook v12.0.6668.5000 (2007).  Every time that she opens a PDF attachment in email and prints it, it minimizes to the system tray.  if she saves it to the desktop and prints, it doesn't minimize.
    I have deleted everything in her OLK folders, tried printing while in Cached Exchange Mode, and with it turned off.  the problem persists.
    Please advise.  Thanks.

    Thank you for replying.
    What is happening is the user receives a PDF attachment in an Outlook email.  She opens the PDF to view (default program for opening PDFs on her computer is Adobe Reader), then clicks the print button in Adobe.  The document prints, but it immediately minimizes to her taskbar and remains minimized unless she clicks on the icon to maximize it again.  if the same PDF is saved to her desktop, opened, and printed, it does not minimize.  We can create this issue at any time on her machine.
    I have focused on Outlook since it appears to only happen from this program.  i have deleted temporary files from her OLK folders, tested with Cached Exchange Mode turned off, and ran MS Office Diagnostics (no errors).  I am uncertain where to troubleshoot next, short of deleting her profile on the computer and letting it rebuild.

  • System Tray

    Could anyone offer a tip on putting a java application (when minimized) into the system tray? Also, I'd like to be able to remove the item from the menu bar on the bottom.
    I'm going to do some html parsing and would like to be able to display a single string in a "icon" in the system tray.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    you have to use jni for that. as in accessing system tray your have to use windows api so to interface with that you can use jni.
