I had to do a bit of searching so, here’s how to minimize your WPF app to a tray icon. Assume your window is called Window1 for the code below. Trap Closing, StateChanged and IsVisibleChanged (see xaml).
xaml:
<window x:Class=”MyApp.Window1″ xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation”
xmlns:x=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml”
Title=”WCFAppVisualHost” Height=”383″ Width=”680″ Closing=”OnClose” StateChanged=”OnStateChanged” IsVisibleChanged=”OnIsVisibleChanged”
>
Associated cs:
private System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon m_notifyIcon;
public Window1()
{ // initialise code here
m_notifyIcon = new System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon();
[...]
