How to get that the main form is going to be minimized

Hi,

Is there any way (like an event) to get that user is pressing MinimizeBox

I totally want to know how to get that the user wants to minimize the main from.

In this case i want to send my applicatin to notification tray when user minimizes application's main from.

With thanks.

Try using the SizeChanged event, as shown in the above code...

Here's an example in VB.NET:

Public Class Form1
Dim WithEvents ntfy As New NotifyIcon

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
ntfy.Icon = My.Resources.Icon1
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_SizeChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.SizeChanged
Me.ShowInTaskbar = Me.WindowState <> FormWindowState.Minimized
'Me.Visible = Me.WindowState <> FormWindowState.Minimized
ntfy.Visible = Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
End Sub

Private Sub ntfy_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ntfy.Click
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
'Form1_SizeChanged(sender, e)
End Sub
End Class

The way it is coded works pretty well, except that the form is still visible in the Alt+Tab sequence. To hide it from Alt+Tab, remove the comment quotes for the code. The problem then is that the form doesn't get the focus when the tray icon is clicked. To fix that, you'd need to call SetForegroundWindow; please yell if you need to code for that...
