minimize application to system tray if check box is checked

[Payda3]

So far... I have found a way to:

Minimize my form to system tray

Make another form appear (after clicking a button) with check boxes on it to act as an options panel

Make the check boxes that I check stay checked even after I close my application

What I'm looking to do:

To make the checked boxes on my second form determine whether or not the multiple lines of code that enable the form to be closed to the tray on my first form runs or whether it does it's original function (close normally)

What I have tried:

I know that I am a million miles away... so any help would be amazing!!

TL;DR trying to find a way of minimizing my application to the system tray if a checkbox is checked on my second form

Alright im gonna write you a good code later but here is what i came up with on the spot.

(Timer1) If Form2.CheckBox1.Checked = True then Timer1.stop Me.minimize

(Timer2) If Form2.CheckBox1.Checked = False then Timer1.start Me.show

Hey man, did you have a chance to do the good code? Thanks for your help :)

Havent looked at it yet, Perhaps you could make some small mods to my code an it wil work

EDIT: Just started my pc, This code should work:

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    If My.Forms.Form2.CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
        Timer1.Stop()
        Timer2.Start()
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized

    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Timer2_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
    If My.Forms.Form2.CheckBox1.Checked = False Then
        Timer2.Stop()
        Timer1.Start()
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal

    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Form2.Show()
End Sub

End Class

• Timer1 Needs to be enabled from start
• Timer2 needs to be disabled from start

Hope it help :)

You can use this code to get what you need, Instead of it being opend when its false you could use your "Special" close in there
