Andy: I think this is what you mean. include win32lib.ew constant Win = create( Window, "", 0, -1, -1, -1, -1, 0 ) WinMain( Win, Normal ) Bernie

I was going to ask about the systray myself this week, but got busy, so you just saved me the trouble :) Anyway, I downloaded the most recent tutorial from http://www.king.igs.net/~wolfritz/tutor.htm and found the systray icon code inside of \demos\sysinfo2.exw. But it seems to be incomplete (no menus or rt-click actions, but these could be faked by trapping events, I think) and more importantly, the tooltip only showed the first letter of the text that should have appeared on the tip. I tried a few things but am kinda in the dark as too how to fix that. Any suggestions? -=Cassidy Napoli=- Andy Drummond wrote: > I am looking to find out how I can minimize a program down to the > taskbar - on the right where you just get icons and no chatty text. > Does anyone know how to do this?

That is IT!!!! Many many thanks to you, PatRat (I'm sure that doesn't sound very complimentary!) - your include module and the example did EXACTLY what I wanted in EVERY detail. I shall now examine the rest of your website for other exciting gems! I was right, I notice, though. Minimizing to the taskbar is easy; minimizing to the System Tray (got the terminology right this time?) is a fairly major task. Why oh why couldn't Mr W, Gates lot allow a WM_MINIMIZETOSYSTRAY type message on the lines of WM_MINIMIZE? Ah well, ours not to reason why. Ours to use Euphoria to make it go! Thank you again VERY much.
