iconify application?
-
hiho@ll i want to write an app which can iconify another application (should be independent what kind of application it is) the problem: i have a prog running the whole day the prog itself can no the iconified to the systray well, that's not correct it is in the systray, but it is also in the task bar so i don't want to see it in the taskbar because it just waits the whole day and does most of the time nothing (but it is needed!) anybody knows how i can make the prog just sit in the systray?
