Minimize to Taskbar? about superputty

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I presume Sergey isn't talking about a bug in the odinary minimize to the 
taskbar, but a request to have SuperPutty minimze to the system tray / 
notification area.

It's simple to implement if there is just one instance of SuperPutty running, 
but what it there are are more? If there are multiple instances should they 
minimize to multiple icons in the system tray, that would be messy.

Perhaps minimizing to the system tray should only be allowed in the 'Only allow 
single instance' flag is set.

For myself I have implemented mimimze to tray and have created a patch for 
frmSuperPutty.cs which I will upload. Of course there should be an option 
whether it should mimimize to tray or to task bar which I have not implemented. 
I will not upload a patch for frmSuperPutty.Designer.cs because Visual C# 
always re-arranges everything when I edit a form in the Designer. 

I used a NotifyIcon called mynotifyicon and a ContextMenuStrip called 
mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1. mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1 only has a 
single ToolStripMenuItem called mynotifyicon_toolStripExit for exiting 
SuperPutty w/o confirmation. The properties of the objects are as follows:

            // mynotifyicon
            // 
            this.mynotifyicon.ContextMenuStrip = this.mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1;
            this.mynotifyicon.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("mynotifyicon.Icon")));
            this.mynotifyicon.Text = "SuperPutty";

            // I used single click for restoring the window
            this.mynotifyicon.MouseClick += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.mynotifyicon_MouseClick);
            // 
            // mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1
            // 
            this.mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1.AutoSize = false;
            this.mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1.ImageScalingSize = new System.Drawing.Size(0, 0);
            this.mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1.Items.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem[] {
            this.mynotifyicon_toolStripExit});
            this.mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1.Name = "mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1";
            this.mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1.ShowImageMargin = false;
            this.mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1.ShowItemToolTips = false;
            this.mynotifyicon_contextMenuStrip1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 26);
            // 
            // mynotifyicon_toolStripExit
            // 
            this.mynotifyicon_toolStripExit.AutoSize = false;
            this.mynotifyicon_toolStripExit.DisplayStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemDisplayStyle.Text;
            this.mynotifyicon_toolStripExit.Name = "mynotifyicon_toolStripExit";
            this.mynotifyicon_toolStripExit.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 22);
            this.mynotifyicon_toolStripExit.Text = "Exit SuperPutty";
            this.mynotifyicon_toolStripExit.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.mynotifyicon_toolStripExit_Click);

frmSuperPutty.Designer.cs also needs:
            this.Resize += new System.EventHandler(this.frmSuperPutty_Resize);

Perhaps this could be integrated in some future release.
