Hi All,

I have tried everything I can find in this forum and on the web to get this to work, and nothing seems to solve my problem.

I have a program made with QT 4.3, which should hide to the tray icon.

When I hide it using the tray icon, it works fine, even on Windows the task-bar entry goes away, leaving just the icon tray:

Qt Code: 
  1. void vfalerter::iconClicked( QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason reason )
  2. {
  3.  
  4.  if( reason == QSystemTrayIcon::Trigger ) {
  5.  	// The icon in the tray was clicked
  6.  	if(this->isVisible())
  7. 		this->hide();
  8.  	else
  9. 		this->showNormal();
  10. 	}
  11.  else if( reason == QSystemTrayIcon::MiddleClick ) {
  12. 	// The icon was middle-clicked
  13.  	showPopup( statusText, 1 );
  14. 	}
  15. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

That part works great. But when i try and capture the Minimize event from the main window, it leaves the task bar entry there.

Qt Code: 
  1. bool vfalerter::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
  2. { 
  3.  if( event->type() == QEvent::Hide ) {
  4. 	// Window was minimized
  5. 	this->hide();
  6. 	return false;
  7. 	}
  8.  else if( event->type() == QEvent::Close) {
  9. 	// We are exiting
  10. 	trayicon->hide();
  11.  
  12. 	// Delete any popups
  13. 	while( popups.count() )
  14. 		delPopup( popups[0] );
  15. 	return false;
  16. 	}
  17.  else if( event->type() == QEvent::Show) {
  18.  	this->show();
  19.  	return false;
  20. 	}
  21.  else {
  22. 	// Other events should be passed back to the main window
  23.  	return QObject::eventFilter(obj, event);
  24. 	}
  25.  }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The only way I have been able to make the taskbar entry go away in Windows from the minimize button is by adding:

Qt Code: 
  1. setWindowFlags( Qt::SubWindow );
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

..to the hide function, but then the window never comes back the way it was when I restore it, and I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the right way of doing it.

The whole things works as expected in KDE, its just Windows that has a problem.

Anyone got any ideas?
