Hi,

 

I think you don't use it as should...

 

Question:

if i "MaximizeFromTray" the Icon is still in Tray.
how can i "hide" Icon in Tray when "maximized" ?

Answer:

TrayIcon is showed when application has been started. It will be there all the time until you end it. Try with Windows TaskManager you will see same thing.   

 

btw. Property Icon :
a.) without it nothing works
b.) "as Picture" meen Bitmap while i can not got ICO to work !

Answer:

Question:

"Popup menu" are not include, right ? ... but how to "close" TrayIcon without Menu ?
"Click" and "DblClick" are not usefull to "close" but i can use "DblClick" to "MaximizeFromTray"

Answer:

You have to build your own popup menu

 

Question:
ShowBalloonTip will "popup" Ballon.
is there any Way to show it when "hover" the Icon(Bitmap) in Tray ?

Answer:

There's no event MouseMove, so you can't... Or you have to create you own code to do this.

 

 

I created a test project so you can see what is possible with above...

Yes most Application work this Way ... but not all.
"Total Commander" or ASUS Probe does "remove" Icon
from Tray when "maximize" ...

i just want to ask if it is possible ...

If no icon is assigned what is purpose of TrayIcon control? If you want application icon use: wndTrayIcon.Icon = Me.Icon (= icon in form caption)

ok understand

THX, now i "see" what you do.

in Xbase++ we have :lbdown and :rbdown Callback slot.

Codejock does "fire" MouseDown(Button, Shift, x , y )
but i have to create my Methode to react on Parameter :

if Button = vbRightButton

ok, got it

Answer:

If you maximize from tray you could set icon: wndTrayIcon.Icon = nothing (remove icon of TrayControl)

If form is minimized: wndTrayIcon.Icon = Me.Icon

Answer:

These are 2 different things, see testproject

 

Used on startup:                         wndTrayIcon.ShowBalloonTip 2, "Application.....", "Right click for options", 4

Tooltip when hovering trayicon:  wndTrayIcon.Text = Me.Caption

 

 

 

Hope it helps...

now i got it, they are different !
Text Property is "myTooltip" and Method ShowBalloonTip() can show me a Ballon ...
but it was "turn off" by "Anti-Spy" so i can not see a Ballon

ok next Question : when used MouseDown Event and icon is i Tray it become some negative Value for "Y"
i can use ABS(Y) when Taskbar are "left","right" and "Bottom" but what about have on "Top" ?

is TrayIcon MouseDown Event when right-click on Icon "in" Tray the Positon "in Tray" ?
to calculate "absolute" Position i need to know who is the Parent of TrayIcon "in" Tray ?

while Tray is part of Taskbar i try this

FUNCTION TaskPosition() LOCAL TrayWindow LOCAL sAppBarMessage LOCAL rc, cRet LOCAL nIndex, nEdge, sRect LOCAL nLeft   := 0 LOCAL nTop    := 0 LOCAL nRight  := 0 LOCAL nBottom := 0    // Fensterhandle des Taskbar holen    TrayWindow := FindWindowA('Shell_traywnd',0)    // Position und Koordinaten ermitteln    sAppBarMessage := U2Bin(36) + L2Bin(TrayWindow) + replicate( U2Bin(0), 7 )    rc := SHAppBarMessage( ABM_GETTASKBARPOS, @sAppBarMessage )    nIndex := 13    nEdge := Bin2U( substr(sAppBarMessage, nIndex, 4) ) ; nIndex += 4    sRect := substr( sAppBarMessage, nIndex, 16 )    DO CASE       CASE nEdge == ABE_LEFT   ; cRet := "LEFT"       CASE nEdge == ABE_TOP    ; cRet := "TOP"       CASE nEdge == ABE_RIGHT  ; cRet := "RIGHT"       CASE nEdge == ABE_BOTTOM ; cRet := "BOTTOM"    OTHERWISE       cRet := "Error "+STR(nEdge)    ENDCASE    IF "Error" $ cRet    ELSE       nIndex  := 1       nLeft   := Bin2L( substr(sRect, nIndex, 4) ) ; nIndex += 4       nTop    := Bin2L( substr(sRect, nIndex, 4) ) ; nIndex += 4       nRight  := Bin2L( substr(sRect, nIndex, 4) ) ; nIndex += 4       nBottom := Bin2L( substr(sRect, nIndex, 4) ) ; nIndex += 4    ENDIF RETURN {cRet,{nLeft, nTop, nRight, nBottom} }

can TrayIcon MouseDown Event take care of Position of Taskrbar please.

I didn't get any negative values when taskbar was moved (l,t,r,b)

 

Looks like x and y value (in MouseDown event) is position in screen.

 

Why do you want these coordinates anyway?
