Title: Can I make a app that runs in the background - minimises to the system tray?
Post by: FutureCow on 2009-Feb-02

Just wondering if there's a way to make an application with GLBasic that will run in the background with nothing on the task bar, and have an icon for it on the system tray. eg. A music player so I can listen to music without having a window or a button on my task bar?

Thanks!

Theoretically yes, although you would need to use a lot of Windows API commands for minimising the window and putting the program in the system tray.

Thanks Guys. It looks too complicated to me, I think I'll stick to normal GLBasic apps! :D
