Hi all

I trying to work something out and have got a little lost here.

I have 4 small programs I am working on, 2 of which I want to run from the
tack bar (programs A,B) and the other 2 from the system tray (programs C,D).

The PC is running a dual head graphics card, the 2 programs I want to run
from the system tray are running on the second output and the 2 from the
task bar are running on the main screen.

The first problem I have is I want the 2 system tray programs to ONLY run
from the system tray so even when the form is maximized there is only an
icon in the system tray and nothing on the task bar. I can get the icon in
the system tray but the program will not run until it's maximized and then
is shows in the task bar.

The second bit is if program A is in focus I want it to maximized program C
(the one in the system tray) and minimize program D (the other one in the
system tray) If program B is focused then swaps the 2 over in the system
tray
