And another one!

my contribution to the ahk community:
Min2Tray (v1.7.9, 2011/10/11)

minimize a window to system tray area of taskbar as icon.
BossKey feature for minimizing several windows at once.
make window always-on-top and maximize window vertically
or horizontally. StartupMinimize can hide certain windows
upon start of Min2Tray or assign actions. and much, much more!
requires ms windows nt/2000/xp/vista/7 or newer - not tested under win 8, yet ;-)

partial changelog for Min2Tray v1.7.9:
+ new feature: use right mouse click on the close button of the window's titlebar to minimize it.
* replaced some functions by much faster routines from Forms Framework v0.8 by majkinetor. this speeded up systray icon creation and other things enormously!

please use it, test the new features extensively, give reply and suggest new features or implement them yourself

thx...

I looked at the package you put together and it seems quite useful and well explained. Thanks for sharing your work.

:oops: Why didn't I think of that? One script is much better than my two script attempt in http://www.autohotke...hlight=skrommel. Nice, Junyx!

well, nothing is perfect. the same for my script. :wink:

currently i'm looking for a way to only allow one instance of the "main" program to be started and run.
"#singleinstance on" doesn't work due to the 2-in-1 script (it has to be started several times as "helper").

any ideas?

None. You need multiple instances to show multiple icons.

well, in order to get a tray icon for the minimized windows you have to start a new instance of AHK - everytime. that's the catch.

1) you need to place my script somewhere (i.e. in the directory where your script is located).

2) include this in your script:

Min2TrayGo:
  WinWait, A,, 2			; set "last used window"
  If ( ErrorLevel )	; It timed out, so do nothing
     Return

  WinGet, h_WinStyle, Style
  
  ; checks for minimizable window: (WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU | WS_MINIMIZEBOX)
  If ( h_WinStyle & 0xCA0000 = 0xCA0000 )
  {
  	WinGet, h_ID, ID
 		Run, C:\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe C:\AutoHotkey\Min2Tray\Min2Tray.ahk %h_ID%, , UseErrorLevel
  	If ( ErrorLevel = "ERROR" )	; helper could not be started
  		Return
  }
Return

change paths to my script and AHK.exe according to your needs!

3) to hide the window and create a tray icon just call in your prog:

Gosub, Min2TrayGo

that should do it for you.
please do make your program public domain or GPLv2 and give some credit :-)

For your info: Doesn't work for me when I put the script in a long path (with spaces in it) such as C:\My Documents\AHK\Scripts .
