New Application

[Tony Tofts]

Hi all,

There was a discussion a while back about the fact that each of my vb6
based
frameworks put an icon in the system tray.

Here's a solution:

Start each xpl application with a command-line of /hide
(this has been supported for sometime)

This stops the xpl application appearing in the icon tray

Run the xplcontroller.exe contained in the following
<a href="http://www.xplhal.com/xpl/xPL_Controller.zip";>http://www.xplhal.com/xpl/xPL_Controller.zip</a>

This puts a single icon in the system tray and will detect running xpl
applications (based on the vb6 xpl framework) and display them on
applications context menu.

At startup it looks for running applications

It then checks at 30 second intervals for the next 3 minutes

And then checks every 30 minutes from then on

Right-click the icon to display a list of applications
(The top item, refresh, will rebuild the list on demand)

Clicking an app on the menu will cause it to come to the foreground (just
minimize to hide again)

Regards
Tony
