Hi.

I try to completely move my program into the system tray at runtime.
It works with one exception. 
A "rest" remains in the status bar: it's the rectangle whith the label 
but without the program icon.

This is my code:

SetWindowLong(Application->Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE,
    (GetWindowLong(Application->Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE) & (~WS_EX_APPWINDOW)) 
    | WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW);

Andy ideas ?

thanks and best regards,
Jan
