Detecticing Clicks On The Minimize Button,max Button And Closeout Button (X)
one more question, ok two i suppse heh,

this program that i'm almost done with (thankfully hehe), uses a timer loop to refresh itself every 15 minutes.
i've noticed a bug that while my timer is in effect it refuses to acknowledge a click on the X in the upper right hand corner of the screen as an Exit program (form) command, instead it refreshes my countdown.

what i want to know is there an event label that will detect a click on any of these buttons and immediately do whatever code i have in the event?

i would like to know the event code for the min button as well since i have it minimizing to they system tray, but only if you double click the icon. i would like it where when i click on the min button it auto goes to the tray and no just minimize the program.

Thanks in advance

Minimize Button Question.
Hello,

Is there any way to make the minimize button in the top right hand corner of the app's form to minimize it to the system tray?

Currently my program is in the system tray and can minimize it by clicking a cmd button which merely hides the form.

Is there anyway to do something similar with the real minimize button?

Thank you and have a great day!

My first attempt bring me the error that I can't change that prop. in run time.
