How to minimize my program into right-bottom's notification area

[Stan Huang]

I wrote a program which can launch other application programs. I hope my program can minimize into right-bottom's notification area after an application is launched automatically. How can I do? Any API I can call?

Notifications and the Notification Area

short answer: use the API function shell_notifyicon.

Thanks. But the codes are all C++. My program is in C#. They can't be applied to my program.

The Windows API is C. You can use P/Invoke.

If you are using Windows Forms you can simply use the Windows Forms NotifyIcon control.
