ZoomToTray Method

This method causes the window referred to by hWnd to be hidden and zoomed (maximized) from the system tray.

Note: This method will not change the WindowState property or location of your form; it will simply hide it after minimizing it and will not move it.

Syntax

csSysTray[(index)].ZoomToTray hWnd

The ZoomToTray method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
csSysTray The SysTray control you are working with, or a control array of SysTray controls.
hWnd A handle to the form you want zoomed. (ex: Form1.hWnd)

Examples

Example 1 (Zooming a form to the System Tray)

csSysTray1.ZoomToTray Form1.hWnd 'call the "zooming" animation.

Remarks

You probably want to set the ShowInTaskBar property of the forms you are watching to False at design time. See also the ZoomFromTray method.

Also, the Microsoft Windows operating environment identifies each form and control in an application by assigning it a handle, or hWnd. The hWnd property is used with Windows API calls. Many Windows operating environment functions require the hWnd of the active window as an argument.

Note Because the value of this property can change while a program is running, never store the hWnd value in a variable.
