If I press a button I want to minimalize my script to the taskbar? - (Moved)

[DannyJ]

Hello Auto It Forum.

I want to minimalize my program to Windows Taskbar if I press a Button, then my program does something and reactivate my window.

(What I mean  Taskbar: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/29280/windows-10-how-to-use-the-taskbar)

My Example code which is works perfectly but it puts the script to the script to the pin bar instead of the of the task bar:

expandcollapse popup

HotKeySet("{Ins}", "ShowGUI")
HotKeySet("{esc}", "_Exit")
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Clipboard.au3>

#Region Contents ;; which data is contained in the button and assigned into the clipboard
Global $clip1 = "Clip 1"
Global $clip2 = "Clip 2"
Global $clip3 = "Clip 3"
#EndRegion Contents

#Region gui ;; creates gui
Global $Show = False
Global $Form1 = GUICreate("Clipboard Copier", 322, 146, 238, 287)
Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton($clip1, 16, 16, 283, 25)
Global $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton($clip2, 16, 56, 283, 25)
Global $Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton($clip3, 16, 96, 283, 25)
#EndRegion gui

#Region loop ;; inputs data into clipboard according to button pressed, minimises to tray after pressing button/minimise and hides from taskbar
Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Sleep(1000)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            $vdata = $clip1
            _ClipBoard_SetData($vdata)
            $Show = Not $Show
            GUISetState($Show, $Form1)
        Case $Button2
            $vdata = $clip2
            _ClipBoard_SetData($vdata)
            $Show = Not $Show
            GUISetState($Show, $Form1)
        Case $Button3
            $vdata = $clip3
            _ClipBoard_SetData($vdata)
            $Show = Not $Show
            GUISetState($Show, $Form1)
        Case $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE
            $Show = Not $Show
            GUISetState($Show, $Form1)
        DllClose($hDLL)
    EndSwitch
WEnd
#EndRegion loop
#Region Functions ;; Makes Insert key minimize to tray, while hiding from taskbar, and set Esc to close program
Func ShowGUI()
    $Show = Not $Show
    GUISetState($Show, $Form1)
EndFunc   ;==>ShowGUI
Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit
#EndRegion Functions

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

Instead of using a bool $Show, use macro @SW_RESTORE and @SW_MINIMIZE

Thank you very much
