hmm, can You gave some examples??

i can give you an example if you pay me 20 €. :schland:

Maybe something like that... i haven't tested it yet....

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include "resource.h"

bool AddTrayIcon(UINT, ::HICON, LPTSTR);

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	if (argc < 2)
	{
		if (!AddTrayIcon(11, ::LoadIcon(0, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON1)), _T("Test")))
			return -1;

		::ShowWindow(::GetConsoleWindow(), SW_HIDE);
	}
	else if(lstrcmp(argv[1], _T("-b")))
	{
		std::cout << _T("Herzlich Willkommen!") << std::endl;
	}

	return 0;
}

bool AddTrayIcon(UINT nID, ::HICON hIcon, LPTSTR lpszTip) 
{ 
	if (!hIcon || !lpszTip)
		return false;

	::NOTIFYICONDATA tnid; 
	tnid.cbSize	= sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA); 
	tnid.hWnd	= ::GetConsoleWindow(); 
    tnid.uID	= nID; 
    tnid.uFlags	= NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_ICON | NIF_TIP; 
    tnid.uCallbackMessage	= 0; 
    tnid.hIcon	= hIcon; 
	lstrcpy(tnid.szTip, lpszTip);

	return (::Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &tnid) ? true : false); 
}

Hmmm no problem, thanks for help, i thought that Board it for Helping people, no money...Thanks

many thanks Devil:D
but....

Hmmm, I have got added kernel32.lib to project... and wnidows headers...

To compile an application that uses this function, define _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0500 or later. For more information, see Using the Windows Headers.

*D*Evil

right... you should add the following:

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500 
#endif

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include "resource.h"

bool AddTrayIcon(UINT, ::HICON, LPTSTR);

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    if (argc < 2)
    {
        if (!AddTrayIcon(11, ::LoadIcon(0, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON1)), _T("Test")))
            return -1;

        ::ShowWindow(::GetConsoleWindow(), SW_HIDE);
    }
    else if(lstrcmp(argv[1], _T("-b")))
    {
        std::cout << _T("Herzlich Willkommen!") << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

bool AddTrayIcon(UINT nID, ::HICON hIcon, LPTSTR lpszTip) 
{ 
    if (!hIcon || !lpszTip)
        return false;

    ::NOTIFYICONDATA tnid; 
    tnid.cbSize    = sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA); 
    tnid.hWnd    = ::GetConsoleWindow(); 
    tnid.uID    = nID; 
    tnid.uFlags    = NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_ICON | NIF_TIP; 
    tnid.uCallbackMessage    = 0; 
    tnid.hIcon    = hIcon; 
    lstrcpy(tnid.szTip, lpszTip);

    return (::Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &tnid) ? true : false); 
}

Yes i add it and define alles

i am learniing vc++

i was doing all the time on Linux and G++...

*D*Evil

Linux and G++

But it is not possible to use the WinAPI Functions on a Linux machin...

Maybe you should use a windows machin and take a look at Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition... then you only have to look into the MSDN Library ... there you will see that you have fergotten to link a special library

Darez

I mean that earlier i was working all the time on Linux...

now i am working and learning VC++ Expres 2005, and that program and that thread is about VC++, and i don't know what is that bug above.

@Darez:
I don't know how to get the console window minimized to a tray-icon, but you can try to simulate a pressed [ALT] + [TAB] key (this idea isn't pretty good if there are a lot of other windows open...). I saw example code for this (it was example code for fullscreen-mode, but it should be easy to replace the [ENTER]) in the web, but I forgot the link - sorry!

Hör auf so nen Mist zu erzählen... was soll das denn für nen unschöner Müll werden?

Darez
I have just now tested my code and it functionated... You have fergotten to link a library...

Richtig.... was meinst de was in dem vom mir angehengten Link steht

Darez

Great, Is it possibale that You can upload somewhere You sln?? - poject form vc++??

I can check what is wrong...

darezik@gmail.com - e mail

Thasnk mr Devil for all really thanks

Darez

Yep it is works

but, when i close CMD window, TEST progra is shoutdown...-no minimaising to tray closing.. when i try to press on icon tray it no maximalize... nth do...

Darez

That function is to add icon to tray... it isn't to minimalise console program to Tray...:(

Hide the window with ShowWindow.

*D*Evil

Maybe you should use my code You can start the application not in tray, when you start the app with start parameters... but when you start without startparams, the App will stay in tray until the sleep function has finished!

I haven't add the message procedure because i thought that there is something which you can do on your own! That is not so hard...
