Hide a form

Hello,
I am trying to create a form that when I minimize it, it should minimize to the system tray, so nothing is visible in the task bar (I'm using the NotifyIcon tool).
I tried to use the commands:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. $formTest.ShowInTaskbar = $false
2. $formTest.WindowState = 'Minimized'

But this doesn't completely hide the window:

When I use the code

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. $formTest.Visible = $false

Then the program crashes.

Does anyone has experience with minimizing forms?

Unfortunately, since PowerShell dialogs are modal, you can't achieve exactly what you're asking for but you can do something similar.

You can get a script to stay hidden and run with a NotifyIcon, but you can't have a GUI. Here's an article with some more information: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/lib ... 30952.aspx
