Refresh system tray icons

[JunglesMcBeef]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to refresh the icons in the system tray. If I kill the process, the icon stays in the taskbar until i wave the mouse pointer over it, then it disappears, even though the process has been killed. If I exit through right clicking on the icon in the taskbar it gets rid of the icon and kills the process. So, I effectively need to know if there is a way to refresh the icons in the system tray?

You could always capture the application exit and remove the icon from the tray manually.

I call Tray.Dispose() inside

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)

James,

What do I need to reference to be able to use Tray.Dispose()? I can't find any information on it anywhere...

I don't think the dspose will be called when you kill the process from within the task manager since all code processing will be stopped. Learn to life with it. but thats just what I think perhaps there is a solution.
