I have a win32 application that shows an icon in the taskbar/system
tray with a few context menus on it..The application can be started
from the start menu [ the installation puts links there ] or from the
command line.
The menus include "hide from taskbar" and "exit". A "hide" is expected
to hide the icon from the taskbar leaving the application running.
I have managed to hide the icon on saying "hide". How do I get back the
icon on the taskbar on clicking the start menu link. [ which inturn
would fire up the application ] ?
This is how my code looks:-
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,LPSTR
lpCmdLine,int nCmdShow)
{
//instantiates the class for managing the icon which does register
class, create window-etc.
//and eventually shows the icon in the tray.
//does a few other things here
while((bRet = GetMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0)) != 0)
{
if(bRet == -1)
{
//return error.
retVal = ERROR;
}
else
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
if(retVal != ERROR)
return (int)msg.wParam;
else
return retVal;
}
Thanks in advance,
-B.
