Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how I can get rid of the application button from
taskbar when it is minimized. I'd like to have an icon in system tray when
it is minimized.
I did play with suggestion mentioned in
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg27 866.html. and I
was able to add a system tray icon and get events from it. However, I have
no idea how I can remove the application from taskbar and hide it on
"Minimize".
I'd appreciate any help/hits.
Thanks
Abhay

Have a look at Bibster (bibster.sf.net). It's a Eclipse-based P2P
bibliography database that has the option to minimize to the systray.
After you close the application it asks you whether it should run in the
background. If you choose "yes" the window will be removed from the
taskbar but the systray-icon will remain. Source is available via CVS.
Hope this helps,
Stefan

(IWorkbenchWindow)window.getShell().setVisible(false);

Thanks Stefan,
I've downloaded the source and trying to figure out how it is working. Looks
like you have got a mix of SWT/AWT/Swing.
I am pretty new to Eclipse and RCP, it'll probably take me a while to get a
grip. :-)
Thanks

Thanks!
This worked and default-handler on system tray is able to switch this
flag back to visible and the taskbar button shows up. However, it
doesn't bring this window to front. It still remains minimized.
If I use .setMaximized, it does bring the window in front.
item.addListener (SWT.DefaultSelection, new Listener () {
public void handleEvent (Event event) {
System.out.println("default selection");
mwShell.setVisible(true); /* gets taskbar button back */
mwShell.setMaximized(true); /*this brings the window to front but
brings it maximized, no help :-( */
}
});
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

I should be searching SWT archives first. :-)
As per
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.swt/m sg13256.html
following code works-
mwShell.setVisible(true);
mwShell.setMinimized(false);
mwShell.forceActive();
