System Tray Icon

Display Icon in System Tray

This option, when checked, will place a Capture Express icon  into the Windows system tray when the program is running. The system tray is located at the right end of the task bar that lists each application currently running (next to the clock).

 

The icon in the system tray serves two purposes. First, it alerts you to the fact that Capture Express is running in the background. Second, clicking on the icon with the left mouse button performs the task assigned in Left Click Action discussed below. Right clicking on the icon opens a menu that provides access to essentially all areas of the program.  

 

If you do not have the Display Icon in System Tray option selected Capture Express will run in hidden mode. This mode will completely hide the program. Pressing the hot key assigned to start an image capture will open the program window.

 

Left Click Action

Select what you would like the program to do when you left mouse click on the Capture Express icon in the system tray. Choose from five different options.

 

Launch Capture Window - This is the default option. The Capture Express window opens.

Automatic Capture - Start an automatic capture of an image.

Display Popup Menu - Display the menu that opens when you right mouse click on the icon.

Open Image - Have the program load the Open Image File window to select an image to open.

Do Nothing - Nothing will happen if you left click on the system tray icon.

 

 

Close Button

Close Button Hides or Minimizes

This option will minimize the program to the system tray or place it in a hidden mode when you click on the close button in the upper right hand corner of the Capture Express window. With this option selected, you would close the program by clicking on File | Terminate Capture Express or right clicking on the icon in the system tray and selecting Terminate Capture Express.

 

If you do not select the Close Button Hides or Minimizes option the program will shut down when you click on the close button in the upper right hand corner of the Capture Express Window.
