You are right! The app does have a useful mainform which is normally visible, but when the user "closes" the form using the [X] titlebar button for example, the program continues operating in the system tray. For some reason I thought closing the mainform would also activate the OnClose event, but it doesn't. So I can use the OnClose afterall.

How are you using it, ( the trayicon )? For application where I need a trayicon but do not want it to effect or be effected by anything happening to or with the user interface, I usually create a dummy form as my mainform with no borders, icons, or anything but the trayicon, an imagelist, and the context menu used by the trayicon. I set ShowMainForm to false and never show it. But that still doesn't preclude making use of it's OnClose or OnCreate events. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
