Hi,

First of all, I am loving SQLinForm, one try and I had to buy it. One thing I'm not sure I understand is the Java 6 version with "system tray." Is this intended to put some kind of service/system tray icon in my Window's system tray for ease of access? If so, how do I activate it. I currently have SQLinForm running (June 2011 Java 6 version) and can open it fine from a start menu shortcut I created, but if there is an option to activate it to the system tray, then I have not figured out how that works.

Please help me understand how I can activate the "system tray" feature or correct me in my understanding of what I should be expecting by "system tray". I do have JRE 1.6.0_24 installed and the active java runtime. I have also gone into the Java Control Panel and made sure the "Place Java Icon in system tray" checked in the advanced tab (if that matters).

Again, perhaps I am not fully understanding what the "system tray" feature indicates, but any information would be helpful...system tray or no, I love this app!

Thanks!

Hi bbrown127,
thanks for your message. Sorry for answering only today. I am back from holiday :-)

Java 6 offers the possibility to run an application in the system tray. JAva 5 does not have this feature. That is the reason why I have to maintain and to offer both versions.

You understood the system tray correctly. The SQLinForm icon should appear automatically in your system tray.

Which OS are you working with?

Best Regards
Guido

There is a small video here to explain the systray functionality.

I really like the system tray feature, but for one thing. I can't just minimize to the system tray. I still have an icon on the taskbar. It would be nice to be able to set an option to either minimize to one or the other but not both.

Hi Bill,
nice to hear again from you. I will check how I can do this in Java.
