Place Minized application in taskbar next to Clock

[visualJay]

How do you can you place an icon down in the taskbar next to the clock.What I want is if the user presses the X on top of the form it will minimize to an icon setting in the taskbar next to the clock or that area.

And to exit the program they just press exit button which I already have setup.

Can this be Done?

Not too sure why you want to have the "close" button - the "X" you're talking about - minimize your application.

Seems like you'd want to do this using the minimize button. Why be so non-standard?

Sure, you could trap the close attempt in VB and do something else, but why?

As for the rest of your question I suggest starting with

http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q176085

They give sample code there that isn't perfect but gives you all the fundamentals.

Good luck!

dilettante,

I want to front end to close to the user but stay running down in the task bar(area near the clock) to show it is still running the icon for weatherbug and some antivirus software. Then when they double click on that icon(in the taskbar) the front end will reappear.
