Showing exe in system tray

[Buddy008]

I am writing a program that needs to stay open all the time. However, my wife likes to close it. When she closes it, I want it to stay open in the system tray, so that it still runs. Like an antivirus program, or kazaa.

Is there any way to do this??

Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh:

You might want to look at the series of articles on VBnet. One of the pages has the URL:

http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/subclass/shellnotifybasic.htm

From there, you can find a series of articles on how to do system tray icons, including how to animate them.

HTH,
Cassie
