I found the answer 10 lines higher in the newsgroup...

The easiest way is to use this freeware component I found on the net.
It
includes the source code:

http://ns1.ntrnet.net/~bstowers/delphi/

Check out the "Other Components" section, and then the TTrayIcon
component.
 Works great!

Re:Minimizing Forms


  Thanks for you suggestion, but I am not looking for a Tray Icon component.
What I am looking for is something that can handle the from minimize message
and respond to it by minimizing the application (into the regular task bar
area).
