Hi!

You can do this with use of Windows API functions:

declare integer GetWindowLong ;
	in user32 ;
	as __GetWindowLong__ ;
	integer, ;
	integer
declare integer SetWindowLong ;
	in user32 ;
	as __SetWindowLong__ ;
	integer, ;
	integer, ;
	integer

* hide this window from the taskbar and switchbar
*	#define WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW  0x80
*	#define WS_EX_APPWINDOW   0x40000
	local lnStyle
	lnStyle = __GetWindowLong__(HWND, -20)
	if bitand(m.lnStyle, 0x40000) = 0x40000 then
	   lnStyle = bitxor(m.lnStyle, 0x40000)
	   =__SetWindowLong__(HWND, -20, m.lnStyle)  && remove from taskbar
	endif
	=__SetWindowLong__(HWND, -20, bitor(m.lnStyle, 0x80 )) && remove it also from switch bar

Also, in VFP6 there is no way to know HWND directly from a form's property like in VFP7. You can use a few otehr Windows API functions to get it, as well as there are a few other approaches (you can find them at this site).

HTH.

>Hi there,
>is there a possibility to prevent an vfp(6)-app from appearing in the taskbar when minimized. I have a little app that has to appear in the system-tray (which can be done with a simple Active-X-Control), but not in the taskbar.
