[Gambas-user] Hiding FMain not possible?

[Toni]

Hi Rolf,
I needed something similar and what I did is creating a new module and 
setting it as the "startup class", then in order to prevent the 
application ending straightly (after creating/showing the trayicon), I 
used Fmain "Persistent" property to force the application stay loaded... 
so in your case, even if there is a bug ¿? in your version of KDE, it 
will not be showing  the form and so, there will be no need to hide it.
(may be it is not the best solution, but it works for me!)

Here is a sample of what you could code this startup module:

PUBLIC FUNCTION Main() AS Boolean
 
  DIM tryicn AS TrayIcon
  tryicn = NEW TrayIcon AS "tryicn"
  tryicn.Show()
  tryicn.Visible = TRUE
  tryicn.Picture = Picture["agendaxml.png"]
  FMain.Persistent = TRUE
 
END
PUBLIC SUB tryicn_dblclick()
 
  FMain.Persistent = FALSE
  FMain.Close
 
END


Regards,

Toni
