Subject: win32 service application (like google desktop)
all,
I wanted to get the following behaviors in a perl script:
1. a small icon for the perl script, in the lower corner of the window (ie:
by the system clock). Clicking on this expands the
existing gui.
2. a single instance (and only a single instance) of the script runs at all
times.
3. mousing over the script displays text associated with that script.
4. no 'cmd' associated with the script.. runs standalone.
In short, I was looking on how to make a script that behaves like the google
desktop applet.. Anyone made something like this?
Ed
