Re: IUP - Obtaining the Ihandle in C from Lua

Great, thanks!

Love the library btw. One side-question, when I set my dialog to minimize to 
the system tray, it doesn't display the TRAYICON. My guess is that this is 
because the icon is 32x32 and not 16x16, although I'm confused why it is 
automatically scaled down for the dialog (i.e. its ICON attribute) and not 
for the system tray (i.e. the TRAYICON attribute). My guess also is that 
this is a windows issue, not really an IUP issue.
