WAD More on ACTIVATE

With the help open,

activate "Take Command Help v.16.03" tray

causes the help to be hidden and a **TCC** icon to appear in the tray. Clicking that icon causes TCC to get focus (if it doesn't already have it), causes the tray icon to disappear, and leaves the help hidden.

And, if I

activate "Untitled - Notepad" tray

Notepad is hidden, a notepad icon appears in the tray. But the icon does nothing.

WAD -- the app has to support being minimized to the tray. And Notepad doesn't.

Please explain how that works and name an app, other than a JPSoft product, which supports it?

I figure TCC is putting the icon in the tray and I wouldn't expect another app to be monitoring messages from it.

The "tray" option isn't intended to be used with anything other than TCMD and TCC. The tray notifications are being sent by Windows to the third-party app windows, which not surprisingly don't know WTF it means.
