Hi...
I would like my application to minimize in the system tray instead of
Closing when the user press the close ("X") button in the top right corner
of the window (jus as MSN Messenger window does).

I do provide a ToolBar button and a MenuItem that call the "Close" method in
the Main Form and I have implemented some cleaning code in the FormClose
event, so how can I "detect" when the user clicks the "X" button in order to
minimize the app instead of closing it...?

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

My best regards

<MortZ>.
