Placing the Application Server Icon in the System Tray

By default, the Application Server window is automatically minimized and an icon is placed in the system tray when the application server (that is, jadapp.exe) starts up.

The Use system tray command from the Options menu enables you to toggle the minimizing or restoring of the Application Server window to or from the system tray icon. When the window can be automatically minimized and a system tray icon displayed in the Taskbar (the default value), a check mark is displayed to the left of the command in the Options menu and an icon is placed in the system tray in the Taskbar at the lower right of the screen, when the application server program starts up.

The icon is removed from the system tray when the application server closes down or the use of the system tray icon is disabled.

To toggle the use of the system tray icon

• Click the Use system tray command from the Options menu.

When the use of the system tray icon is activated, a check mark is displayed to the left of the command in the Options menu and an icon is placed in the system tray at the lower right of the screen when the application server starts up.

When you disable the use of the system tray icon for the application server, no check mark is displayed at the left of the command in the Options menu, no icon is located in the system tray, and the window is not automatically minimized when the application starts up. In addition, the UseSystemTrayIcon parameter in the [JadeAppServer] section of the JADE initialization file is updated to maintain the current value for future work sessions when you exit from the application server.

To restore the application server window

• Left-click on the application server icon in the system tray at the right of the Taskbar.

The Application Server window is then restored.

To minimize the window again when the use of the system tray icon is enabled

• Left-click on the application server icon in the system tray again.

The Application Server window is then minimized; that is, left‑clicking on the application server icon in the system tray toggles the minimizing and restoring of the Application Server window.

To access the application server system tray icon menu

• Right-click on the application server icon in the system tray at the right of the Taskbar.

The system tray icon menu for the application server is then displayed. The application server icon menu provides the following commands.

• Restore

  The Restore command, determined by the current status of the application server window, toggles the minimizing or restoring of the application server window.

• Use system tray

  The Use system tray command enables or disables the automatic minimizing of the application server window when the application server starts up and placement of the application server icon in the system tray.

  Select this command from the icon menu if you want to disable the use of the system tray icon and automatic minimizing of the application server window. The icon is then removed from the system tray. (When use of the system tray icon is disabled, you can enable it at any time by selecting the Use system tray command in the Options menu of the Application Server window.) The UseSystemTrayIcon parameter in the [JadeAppServer] section of the JADE initialization file enables you to configure whether the interrupt icon is positioned in the system tray.

• Exit

  The Exit command exits from the application server.
