Hidding application in taskbar

[dominochmiel]

I need to hide my app to tray. I'm calling Application->Minimize;. But after it my application is still showing itself at task bar. How can I hide it;

I found the solution. You should change WinMain function to this form:
WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
DWORD dwExStyle = GetWindowLong(Application->Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE);
dwExStyle |= WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW;
SetWindowLong(Application->Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE, dwExStyle);

try
{

Application->Initialize();
Application->CreateForm(__classid(TMForm), &MForm);
Application->Run();
}
catch (Exception &exception)
{
Application->ShowException(&exception);
}
catch (...)
{
try
{
throw Exception(""
}
catch (Exception &exception)
{
Application->ShowException(&exception);
}
}
return 0;

thid is indeed useful. I am curious about the use of the 2 catch statements.

Did you tried using a TrayIcon component?
This component is exactly what you are looking for

I've done this before, but I forget which function I used. It was a MFC one. Try this one maybe.

BOOL ShowWindow(

HWND hWnd, // handle of window
int nCmdShow // show state of window
);

Set nCmdShow to SW_HIDE.
