[DUG] TTrayIcon

[Sean Cross - CRM]

There is a ShowMainForm (or similar) property on Application.  If you
set that to false, it won't show the main form and thus wont show up in
the task bar.

	Subject: [DUG] TTrayIcon
	
	
	I have a program (the Analogue clock widget) that would be
useful to have in the system tray mainly so that it doesn't minimise
when a user hits the Show Desktop shortcut to minimise all windows.
(This is an icon in the quick launch toolbar on XP)
	 
	I did some experimentation with TTrayIcon in D2006 and it
doesn't work quite as I expected - it does nicely create an icon in the
system tray, but also still on the task bar, and minimise all programs
mentioned above still minimises it.  Also there is no right click menu
supplied with the tray icon by default- so I presume further coding is
still needed to add this.
	 
	I could either add further code to do this - any suggestions?
	 
	-or-
	 
	I could leave it instead with a normal task bar icon and use the
Tapplication.onminimise event (TapplicationEvents component) to just
maximise it again (add a line saying application.restore).  *However*
this event is fired when I click the minimise icon for the individual
program, but not when minimise all is clicked.....
	Any suggestions?
