hide on taskbar

[RichE]

Hi All,

I wrote an app a few years ago and have revisited it to improve it, one thing I can't sort it to not show it on the taskbar, but show it in the system tray, the point of the app is to allow users easy access to info that tech support may ask, like username, pc name & IP address.

I've searched the forums but not found a answer, can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance#

Pass handle of AutoIt window as GuiCreate parent param.

WinGetHandle(AutoItWinGetTitle())

There is a variation where you create an unseen, unactivated and, otherwise, unreferenced parent window:

Global $hP = GUICreate("", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)

I started using it because I was skeptical of having multiple compiled scripts use a common parent at runtime ... although I've never seen anything about that as an issue ... and maybe there's even a different Au3 for every running script.  I just didn't know.

Look here at my simple example:

EDIT:

If you need it to hide GUI after launch of application then do this before main GUI loop:

- remove GuiSetState()

- add TrayShow(1)
