hello everybody,
I am new to all of this
Java stuff and would like some help with an
applet that I am trying to minimize to the systray. If this is possible?
why I am using an applet? I need a small app to launch from my database system that has a php front end, basically I have a php mysql database program that records an employees work time. What I need is, after closing the parent system a small app that launchs and runs in the system tray. This app/applet is launched from the php page displays a message then is minimized to the system tray.
so far I have an applet with a JFrame and Jpanel I have a windowlistener that will display a joptionPane but will NOT invoke my TrayIcon class below is the code that I am using.
Any help would be much appreciated.

public void windowClosing(WindowEvent evt) {
JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "or no",
"choose yes",JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
}
});
frame.setTitle("Writs");
frame.setSize(600, 400);
frame.add(new JLabels());
frame.setVisible(!frame.isVisible());
