AddMinimizeWatch Method

This method enables minimize "watching" of the window (form) passed in. When the user presses the minimize button on the "watched" form, the window will zoom to the system tray instead!

Syntax

csSysTray[(index)].AddMinimizeWatch hWnd

The AddMinimizeWatch 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 to be watched. (ex: Form1.hWnd)

Examples

Example 1 (Starting a Minimize Watch on a form)

csSysTray1.AddMinimizeWatch Form1.hWnd

Remarks

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