The thing TC use, when minimized to tray and still possible to use
alt-tab to switch to it, anyone got a solution for that?

I have noticed that when TC is in tray a process called switchwin2 is created.

Any hints?

Perhaps this is a Ghisler secret...

Hi!

Perhaps this is a Ghisler secret...

I'sure it's something like this! Also the sounds settings in Windows!

I can't confirm this.

However, if you use the JVCL or RX library, there is a very well written component (TJvTrayIcon), which does exactly the desired function.

TC does create a window without taskbar icon to which you can Alt+Tab while TC is in the tray. Unfortunately I had to introduce this "press Enter after alt+tab" on Windows NT based operating systems, because there is no way to distinguish between the user switching to the window with alt+tab and windows restoring the window when another window is closed or minimized. This caused TC to appear automatically when switching between other windows, which is of course very annoying.
