How do you minimize to tray?

[careca]

Really, no simpler way to put the question, so what do u say?

Read about GUISetState() and tray options, but all i could see is minimize, to taskbar!

I'd use a combination of Tray Menu items and GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $GUIHandle)

Yeah, i could use that, but what if you want to restore the window from tray? will it restore?

Search this forum, this was asked/answered here many times already so you needn't reinvent wheel.

I understand perfectly why you sugest me to search, and i did but right now i intend to learn something and try to

do it by myself with some help, instead of just copying what others did, besides, didnt found code like this one i came up with.

Maybe with your help (all of you) we can get it to work, objective is simple, start the script, then have one check option in the tray called... "tray",

then when "tray" is checked, restore the window, with GUISetState(@SW_SHOW), and when "tray" is unchecked , set GUISetState(@SW_HIDE).

Global $window, $chkitem
$window = GUICreate ("something", 180, 75, 0, 0)
$chkitem = TrayCreateItem ("Tray")
TrayItemGetState ($chkitem)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
    Case $chkitem,$TRAY_CHECKED
            show()
        Case $chkitem,$TRAY_UNCHECKED
            tray()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func show()
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    _WinAPI_Beep (2000, 300)
EndFunc

Func tray()
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
    _WinAPI_Beep (1500, 300)
EndFunc

Do
TrayItemGetState ($chkitem)
Until $window = 1

Why doesnt this work? i mean, the tray option is checked, but wont do anything...
