How to let the app to minimize, and stay in the system tray?

How to let the app to minimize, and stay in the system tray? It seem no this API.

You can set up a close intercept on the main window to make sure that the application is hidden instead of closed when pressing the close button.

Like this:

a := app.New()
w := a.NewWindow("Window Name")

if _, ok := a.(desktop.App); ok {
    w.SetCloseIntercept(w.Hide) // don't close the window if system tray is used
}

You of course also need to create the system tray within that if-statement but I assume that you have that code already.

I know this method. But I want to click the window "-" to stay on the tray not only the "X"

[Jacalz]

Doesn’t a minimised application already show the tray? Or are you perhaps asking for it to disappear from the list of opened windows and stay in the systemtray instead?

If you are talking about the latter, I think #3156 like is what you want.

Most OS will not hide a window that is minimised. We cannot override that.

[Jacalz]

This might be a duplicate of #3156 come to think of it.

Yes! If I click the "-", the app will do it like that.
I can listen the minimize event on MFC

Cool. I think that’s as good as we can get it until the issue is fixed then. Feel free to mark as solved if you want to.
