Icon in task bar

[Semen Matusovski]

Hi, all --
I didn't investigate this question, but may be somebody already did ...
Top-level window has no WS_SYSMENU.
Is it possible to "full" Window to have an icon in task bar and how ?

PS. It's not a problem for me - I can prevent undesired results in HITTEST.
But interesting ...

Do you mean a maximized window?
Yes! I th ink anything is possible in the taskbar, I have most of the code....
Unless I'm missing something...? (Full as in alt-ENter to a dos box for example?)

Hi Semen,
I'm not sure what the system menu has to do with it, but would this
work for you? :

#Compile Exe "D:\Icon.EXE"
#Dim All
#Register None
#Include "Win32API.INC"
Global  nid           As NOTIFYICONDATA
Function WinMain(ByVal hCurInstance  As Long, _
                 ByVal hPrevInstance As Long, _
                 lpszCmdLine         As Asciiz Ptr, _
                 ByVal nCmdShow      As Long) Export As Long
'Grab the PBDLL Icon and just use the Desktop's handle:
  nid.cbSize = SizeOf(nid)
'nid.hwnd would be the handle to your dialog. I just snatched
'the desktop so I didn't have to create a dialog for this ex.
  nid.hwnd = (GetDesktopWindow)
  nid.uId = 0
  nid.uFlags = %NIF_ICON Or %NIF_TIP' Or %NIF_MESSAGE
  nid.hIcon = ExtractIcon(hCurInstance, "PBEDIT.EXE", 0&)
  nid.szTip = "This Is The PBDLL Icon" & Chr$(0)
'Insert The Icon Into The Tray:
  Shell_NotifyIcon %NIM_ADD, nid
  MsgBox "Click After Checking Tray"
'Remove The Icon From The Tray:
  Shell_NotifyICon %NIM_DELETE, nid
End Function

Wyman --
Thanks, but I'm about Task Bar, not Tray.
If window has WS_SYSMENU style, Windows shows in task bar (in buttons) icon and caption name.
Problem is that without WS_SYSMENU style it shows caption only (not nice).

Use Dialog New in following form
Dialog New 0, "Test", , , 150, 20 To hDlg
and look to taskbar.

Semen,

I have not looked into how to get the modeless window to get activated
on startup.

Example:

#COMPILE EXE
#INCLUDE "WIN32API.INC"
 
GLOBAL ghDlg AS LONG
GLOBAL ghDlg2 AS LONG

'---
CALLBACK FUNCTION cancelButton()
   DIALOG END ghDlg
END FUNCTION

'---
CALLBACK FUNCTION DlgCallBack2()
Local rc as RECT
   SELECT CASE CBMSG
     CASE %WM_INITDIALOG
          Call GetWindowRect(ghDlg2,rc)
          x&=rc.nLeft
          y&=rc.nTop
          Call MoveWindow(ghDlg,x&,y&,0,0,1)         
     CASE %WM_MOVE
          Call GetWindowRect(ghDlg2,rc)
          x&=rc.nLeft
          y&=rc.nTop
          Call MoveWindow(ghDlg,x&,y&,0,0,1)
     CASE %WM_CLOSE
          DIALOG END ghDlg
     CASE %WM_DESTROY
     END SELECT
END FUNCTION
          
'---
CALLBACK FUNCTION DlgCallBack()
LOCAL hDlg2 AS LONG
   SELECT CASE CBMSG
     CASE %WM_INITDIALOG
          DIALOG NEW ghDlg,"Title: ",,,300,200,%WS_CAPTION OR %WS_POPUP OR %DS_CENTER, TO hDlg2
          ghDlg2 = hDlg2
          CONTROL ADD BUTTON, hDlg2, %IDCANCEL, "E&xit", 140, 130, 40, 14   CALL cancelButton
          DIALOG SHOW MODELESS hDlg2 CALL DlgCallBack2
          
     CASE %WM_DESTROY
     END SELECT
END FUNCTION

'---
FUNCTION PBMAIN
   'draw this some place off the screen
   DIALOG NEW 0,"Title:",0,0,0,0,%WS_SYSMENU, TO hDlg&
   ghdlg=hDlg&
   DIALOG SHOW MODAL hDlg& CALL DlgCallBack
END FUNCTION
