Shell Hide On Close [message #464270]

Hi there, I am using the Tray and I want to minimize my Main Shell on
the Close button click of the Main Shell. I added a Shell Adapter and
catched the Shell Closed Event and I set the Doit to false and I then
set my shell to shell.SetVisible(false);
I only want to be able to click my application but using the Tray
rightclick/quit action.

Is this the clean way to do it?

I also need my application not to block a windows shutdown process. What
is the event that SWT receives when windows is shuting down? I had this
prblem when I was implementing a similar application in Borland C++ so I
had to allow the shutdown of the application when it was a close event
on shutdown.

thanks

Simon

Thanks for the hint but I think I will stick with my solution. It looks
to work fine.
