Hi.

I am trying to get my app. to minimize to the system tray.

Right now, everything seems to be working OK except
that when I press the minimize button the first time it hides
the application as it should.  Then when I click on the icon
in the system tray it shows like it should.  However, when
I click on the minimize button again nothing happens it
seems as if the OnMinimize handler disappears after the
first time it is minimized.

Here is a short rundown of what I have done:

void __fastcall TMainForm:: OnCreate() {
    Application->OnMinimize = OnMinimizeHandler;

void __fastcall TMainForm::WndProc(Messages::TMessage &Message) {
    if(Message.Msg == IconMessage) {
        if(Message.LParam == WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK) {
            WindowState = wsNormal;
            Show();
        }
        return;
    }
    TForm::WndProc(Message);

void __fastcall TMainForm :: OnMinimizeHandler(TObject *Sender) {
    // ShowWindow(Application->Handle, SW_HIDE);
    Hide();
    Visible = false;

It all looks good to me.  Did I overlook something?

Ha. I don't believe it. I managed to nab a question before the others :0

Have a look at http://www.bcbdev.com/faqs/faq73.htm

That will explain how it is done, and comes complete with code examples.

Jason:

Thanks for pointing me to the FAQ, it is quite well done.  However, I don't
see why my on minimize handler (which simply calls Hide()) works the first
time but doesn't work any time after that.  If I can get that part to work,
the
whole run from tray thing will be working perfectly.

Any chance you can do me a favor. Download the example project, then one
that claims to minimize to the system tray, and run it. Does it have the
same flaw? If not, then do what it does. <G> If it does, then let me know so
I can find out what the problem is.

Both examples from the FAQ work fine.  They minimize and open with no
problem.  I sat there for 7 hours minimizing and opening it just to be
sure :) Just kidding, I should have saved that until April 1.

I had the same thing. when you wake up the app you have to do it the same way -
doubleclick & menu command...
