HELP: Hiding Delphi Application
Kay Foerster
I would like to hide my Delphi application, so that you can only find in the
Task Manager under WinNT (as process).
If that is not possible, then perhaps it is possible to let it only appear
in the bottom right courner (near the clock).
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance

ExtendedStyle := GetWindowLong(Application.Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE);
SetWindowLong(Application.Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE, ExtendedStyle OR
WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW AND NOT WS_EX_APPWINDOW);
Appllication.Showmainform:=False;
This will hide your app from the application bar (NT , 98 and 95) , and the
task manager as well (Only 95 and 98, not NT) . Beware.

In the OnActivate : ShowWindow(Application.Handle, SW_Hide); Will hide the
'Icon' on the task bar.
Application.Showmainform:=False; Will keep the main form from displaying.
Hope it helps...

machines using FTP, not too fancy and minimal error checking, but it does
implement the features to hide the application from the app. bar and creates
a icon next to the clock that has popups for right-click, etc...

Oh it does. BUT..... :) I would like the program to be shown in the 'box'
in the application bar where the time ect. is. And furthermore it would be
nice if the program is hidden at startup ( Application.Showmainform:=False )
and when doubleclicked on in the 'box' it becomes visible; It should also
return to the 'box' after minimizing.
I know that this proberbly is a bit to much to ask you to fix for me, but if
you could give me hints where to find this, I would be appreciative.
Thanks in advance.

Look at their RXTrayIcon component.
Delphi Super Page.. http://delphi.icm.edu.pl Look at freeware
TCoolTrayIcon or..
Torry's Page.. www.torry.ru ... or
Search for ...TrayIcon, or System Tray. The component route is the way to
go. Many are freeware with source.
