Minimize to tray [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use following code:

if (WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
        {
            this.Hide();
        }

When you minimize the form, simply hide it. You will have to implement above code in Form_Resize event.

Then on clicking taskbar icon just restore its state as follows:

private void notifyIcon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.Show();
        this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
    }

You will need to use notifyIcon_Click event for this purpose.

Hope its helpful.
