RE: [DUG] System tray program function when screensaver on.
Can't comment about TCP, but I found with one app that I've written recently that used window messages (i.e. SendMessage, PostMessage etc) that window messaging didn't appear to work while the screensaver was active. In my case I was writing both an app to live in the system tray and the screensaver. I was wanting to use messages to pass info from the screensaver to the system tray app, but it just wouldn't work. I ended up using something from the madShi collection instead to pass information between the processes. Not a direct answer to your problem, but maybe it's some help. C. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Scadden Got some puzzling behaviour. I have an app that normally lives in system tray. It takes to a custom server on another machine via TCP using Indy tcpClient readln with timeout. Normal behaviour is that the tray icon will go into a flicker mode if it gets a message from the TCP server. However, if the machine has dropped into screensaver mode, the flicker state isnt triggered despite the server sending a message in that period. Could the screensaver be interfering with TCP communication? ___ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe

RE: [DUG]: System Tray app
The one I have used which I am happy with is mdTrayIcon by Martin Djaernes. You can make an application autohide to the system tray (like the Volume Control popup adjustment) with the following code by firing the Application.On Deactivate event, telling it to hide the main form. I suppose setting the form to minimise first would produce the animated effect that ZoneAlarm and other tray apps sometimes produce. If you have a close button on the title bar and want to minimise to the system tray when they click the close button (like ZoneAlarm does), use this as an example: 1. Add a property to the form called PermitClose. 2. Set this to false in FormCreate 3. In the FormCloseQuery event handler, put this code: MainForm.Hide; CanClose := PermitClose; 4. In the private declarations of your form, put this procedure declaration procedure EndSession(var Message : TMessage); message WM_QUERYENDSESSION; 5. Here is the code of this procedure: procedure TMainForm.EndSession(var Message : TMessage) ; begin PermitClose := true; Message.Result := Integer(True); end; How does this work? The CloseQuery event procedure is called every time the user tries to close the form. The default behaviour is to tell Delphi that the application can't be closed, so the form appears to disappear to the system tray. The EndSession procedure is a message handler for the WM_QUERYENDSESSION operating system message. Windows sends this message to each running application whenever the user attempts to shut down, log off or restart their computer. The message essentially asks the application whether it can exit or not. It does not shut down the application at this point. If the application returns false then Windows will not be shut down. Returning true indicates the application can be exited. The actual attempt to close the application will occur when the message WM_ENDSESSION is sent by Windows, which occurs if all applications return true. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Ross Levis > Sent: Wednesday, 5 September 2001 16:45 > To: Multiple recipients of list delphi > Subject: RE: [DUG]: System Tray app > > > Well I downloaded & installed RXLIB and setup a basic tray app. > The EXE is > 299k - 12k larger than an empty form.

Whoops, that wasnt showmain you wanted, it was a popup menu item. In the events page of your tray icon use click event and call the click proc 'Popmenu' use code like the following: procedure TPRForm.Popmenu(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer); begin PopupMenu1.Popup(X, Y); end; You will have to manufacture your PopupMenu1 to suit - thats easy squeezy. --- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz

Can someone please tell me how to make an application load as a system tray icon down the bottom on the taskbar ? Still also trying to find out how to detect/install network protocols into windows. Cheers, Matt.
Re: [DUG]: System tray.
look on the DSP (developer.href.com - might be plural) or similar - there are loads of components that do this. If not, drop me a line - I have one that works.
