Need a favor, can you modify and compile this?

Can someone out there add a minimize to systray button to this small Win9x GUI front-end for ClamAV and compile it for me? I am assuming this isn't hard to do, but if it is then forget it I guess.

The code for it is open-source and compiles with MS VC++ 8 apparently.

Here is a picture of the current GUI without the minimize to systray button: http://i33.tinypic.com/mseqgy.png

Here is a link to the source code on sourceforge: http://tinyurl.com/y8jm7z9

Here is a link to the code all zipped up already: http://filedropper.com/clamav-gui-scr

The systray icon doesn't have to be animated or have any popups or right-click options, I just want the GUI to go away while it is scanning so I don't have to look at it.

Then when you click on the systray icon it'll show the GUI again. That's it, nothing fancy. Thanks!

It's trivial to add an icon to what they are now calling the notification area in .NET. However it looks like that program was written in C++, and is probably not managed code. If I recall it's a fair bit less trivial to do using the Win32 API.

There's a little program I used to use on Windows occasionally to sort of hide stuff in the system tray. It's called HideIt (I think that's the right app), and it itself resides in the system tray. You can right-click it and click on practically any application to completely hide or un-hide it.

Edit: The MD5SUM of what I have is 7012e9c6bcc9b5f066ecf1a8d6cd76fd, if you want to check against that.

Try Ken's idea. I've used similar tools before. To recompile the whole program for a feature like this, sounds a bit of an overkill to me.

Good news everyone (me)! The author kindly updated the frontend to minimize to the taskbar after I emailed him. He said the taskbar was trivial, but the systray takes more work and he is busy.

There is another program called Trayiconizer that lets you launch programs via shortcuts and it'll put any taskbar program into the systray. So now I can do that.

Trayiconizer is like HideIt but is more seamless I guess.
