You probably can, but the structures appear to be relatively complicated and you will need to handle callback functions and such.

What you can do instead is use the ActiveX object found here.

This functionnality is offered by the LVWutil32 library. See here

Edit : after reading Tst reply, I'm not sure I understood correctly the question 🙂

LabVIEW windows get minimized to the taskbar automatically when you allow them to be minimized and the user clicks the third icon from the top right, or you can do it programmatically in newer LabVIEW versions by setting the minimzed state. What this guy meant was that he wants to minimize to the system tray which is a very different thing than the taskbar 😉

I answered with two possible Toolkits in another thread to do this. Doing it yourself with shell32 functionality is rather thirty work since it involves callback functions and quite some infrastructure around that to really work well. Nothing for someone not quite seasoned in C programming.
