Hello Guy|Gals,

This tutorial is to tell you how to minimize to tray. You can be using it for almost anything and i cant care less so lets start.

Code:

ok now we have out Notify Icon with mostly is a tray. We need now to add the icon to your tray and the text it will say.

Code:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ni.Icon = Me.Icon()
        ni.Text = "Your Text Go Here" 
End Sub

Lets Add o if u Click it will re open your Form

Code:

Private Sub ni_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ni.DoubleClick
        If Me.Visible = True Then
            Me.Hide()
        Else
            Me.Show()
        End If
    End Sub

Here Now you can Minimize to tray and Be able to show back your application be happy and enjoy.

Again, Something else that is already here, and in the snippets vault, but thanks for sharing.

(not that I mind doubles, because sometimes multiples can be
helpful if they are "different" methods")

But , Look in the tutorials thread, The snippets thread , and search and be sure you aren't just reposting the same tuts

If everyone creates the same tut, we will be flooded with hundreds of the same thing.

Snippets Vault is loaded, so is the tutorials section, so be sure to check there first, then search.

Thanks.
