title: Minimizing Application to system tray using WPF ( Not using NotifyIcon )
body: <p>I am finished making my application and now I want to incorporate " minimizing into the system tray feature " for it . I read up a good article  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7625421/minimize-app-to-system-tray">minimize app to system tray</a> . I realized that these make use of the Windows.Form class . </p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I have used Windows Presentation Foundation <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970268.aspx" rel="noreferrer">WPF reference</a> to make my applications UI . Now I see that the NotifyIcon is not supported in WPF. I see that there is an open source library on CodePlex that simulates the NotifyIcon properties <a href="http://wpfcontrib.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=NotifyIcon&amp;referringTitle=Home&amp;ProjectName=wpfcontrib" rel="noreferrer">WPF Contrib</a> I have not used it as yet . </p>
  
  <p>Now I am in a fix . Here are my questions :- </p>
  
  <p>a) I don't want to incorporate a 3'rd party library just for one single component . </p>
  
  <p>b) Can I do the minimizing feature without NotifyIcon on WPF? If yes then how can someone give me leads please ?</p>
  
  <p>Or maybe I should revert my UI back to using Windows Forms ? </p>
