How do you place/remove icons from the windows systray? I am attempting to develop a program that runs in the background. I am using the ShowWindow function in Win32API to hide the application from the user and the same function to make it re-visible again when the user clicks the desktop icon. But I would like to put the apps icon in the Systray to demonstrate to the user that the app is active.<br>Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Thanks<br>Jon
 
There is a file available for download in UT.&nbsp;&nbsp;(universalthread.com)&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact I posed your question and got the same answer I already know - check the files section there under classes.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think it is like file # 1885?&nbsp;&nbsp;something like that.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can set the icon, remove it, set left double click, right click, lots.&nbsp;&nbsp;Check it out<br>John Durbin
 
Thanks a million, John. It provided every bit of functionality I needed. It even alleviated other related concerns, and I was very amazed at the simplicity of implementation.<br><br>Jon
