I already added the fix to this as an upcoming feature. :)

I tested a little bit around and wrote a function to Get
eDonkey out of the tray and which returns the current window
handle of the eDonkey window - Maybe this code is
interesting for you:

HWND GetDonkeyOutOfTray()
{
HANDLE fHandle;
HKEY aKey;
char DonkeyPath[MAX_PATH];
char *dk_path;
DWORD DataSize;
int i;
HWND DonkeyWindow;
char wintitle[500];

// Find eDonkey-Directory:
    if \(RegOpenKeyEx

(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,"ed2k\\DefaultIcon",NULL,KEY_RE
AD,&aKey)!=ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
return (HWND)-1;
}
DataSize=MAX_PATH;
if (RegQueryValueEx
(aKey,NULL,NULL,NULL,(LPBYTE)DonkeyPath,&DataSize)!
=ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
RegCloseKey(aKey);
return (HWND)-1;
}
RegCloseKey(aKey);

// Kill quote-marks:
    if \(DonkeyPath\[0\]=='"'\)
    \{
        dk\_path=&DonkeyPath\[1\];
        i=strlen\(dk\_path\);
        dk\_path\[i-1\]='\0';
    \}
    else
    \{
        dk\_path=DonkeyPath;
    \}

// try to get write acces to gdonkey.exe
// if you can write, eDonkey is running:
    fHandle=CreateFile

(dk_path,GENERIC_WRITE|GENERIC_READ,NULL,NULL,OP
EN_EXISTING,NULL,NULL);
if (fHandle!=INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
// eDonkey is not running!
CloseHandle(fHandle);
return (HWND)-2;
}

// Now just run gdonkey.exe and the currently

running
// eDonkey-app will come out of his little icon ;-)
ShellExecute
(NULL,"open",dk_path,NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);

// Try to find the window now:
    DonkeyWindow=GetForegroundWindow

();
SendMessage
(DonkeyWindow,WM_GETTEXT,(WPARAM)450,(LPARAM)
wintitle);
wintitle[12]='\0';

    while \(strcmp\(wintitle,"eDonkey2000 "\)\!

=0)
{
DonkeyWindow=GetWindow
(DonkeyWindow,GW_HWNDNEXT);
if (DonkeyWindow==NULL)
{

DonkeyWindow=GetForegroundWindow\(\);
        \}
        SendMessage

(DonkeyWindow,WM_GETTEXT,(WPARAM)450,(LPARAM)
wintitle);
wintitle[12]='\0';
}

return DonkeyWindow;

}

Yes that will probably work. I haven't thought about running
gdonkey.exe in order to get it out of tray.

I don't really understand why checking for write access to gdonkey.exe
should ensure a running instance of Edonkey. Could you enlighten me
on this? :)

The only problem is that I would consider it a little rude for an app to
pull another app out of the tray without putting it back, but I could of
course include the feature as yet another option until a better solution is
found.

Anyway thanks a lot for your idea.

I check for write access, because i did not want to run
eDonkey if it is not running, and i don't know another method
how to detect if eDonkey is running, if it is trayed ;-)

If you know, eDonkey was in Tray before you opened it, it is
easy to send eDonkey back to tray:

SendMessage(donkeyWnd,WM_CLOSE,0,0);

Of course - if edonkey was in tray, closing the window should be safe,
because the 'send to tray' option must have ben set.

Now it does look like a working solution. I'll probably implement this.
Thanks a lot for your input. :)
