Systray Icon not disposing correctly 1

[mHos]

I have an app that uses a systray icon. When I exit the app, I notice that my icon is still in the systray. If I go to mouse over it, it disappears, so I know that it is actually gone. How can I force the systray to redraw so that the icon is no longer is visible?

thanks,

In the form closing event, try this:

NotifyIcon1.Icon.Dispose()

I hope this helps.

I figured it out!!

I just needed to dispose of my icon before I exited my thread!!

Thanks for the reply, but I wasn't associating the sysTray Icon with a form, so I couldn't do it quite like that. I had added the disposing of the Icon to an overloaded Dispose event on my custom ApplicationContext class, but it wasn't being correctly called, so I just moved it so that it is called right before I close my thread.

Thanks for your prompt reply!!
