I wrote a program with VDS that runs minimised in the system tray. When using VDS 3.x, the icon of my program would show in the system tray. But with VDS 4.x, the icon does not show but there is a grey spot where the icon should be - it's as if the icon is there taking up its spot but it is invisible.

I have set up the dialog box with NOSYS but not with the invisible option.

I need to have the icon showing properly - any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Serge

if you are running the code uncompiled, it will not show the default vds icon. try compiling the code and then run it and see if it is there.
Let us know.

Whether the file is compiled or not, the icon doesn't show. Am i the only one with this problem?

If you wrote the program in 3.x the problem may be caused by 4.x's inclusion of tool tips. Try placing an extra comma before the icon name in your code.

I am a bit puzzled here because the icon in question is the one that is used at compilation time. Hence i cannot put an extra comma anywhere.

I certainly agree with the extra comma idea as i can see how it would be a problem, but the icon file used at compilation is the one i select when i tell VDS to compile the program.

Is there someting missing in my DIALOG CREATE line perhaps?

Maybe you should be using "DIALOG HIDE" instead of "window hide, %%title_bar?"

By reading a post from someone else i found the problem. The DIALOG ADD, TAKSICON had been setup for VDS 3.x and not for VDS 4.X - didn't even know that there was a difference :oops: !

Thanks for your help, it now works :lol: :lol: :lol:
