I rea...

Hi! I am using C# (.NET 3.5) and use the NotifyIcon to enable "Minimize to Systray". Everything is working great, except that the shell registers the systray icon with the title "No title" when you look at the start menu properties -> "Hide Inactive Icons".

I am reading the NOTIFYICONDATA documentation in MSDN. It says the NOTIFYICONDATA structure has a cbSize member should be set to the size of the structure, but NOTIFYICONDATA structure's size has different size in every Shell32.dll, so you should get the Shell32.dll version before setting cbSize. The following quotes from MSDN: If i...
I am pretty sure I've done this before, but I cannot remember how/where I found out how to do this. I created a new WinForm application then dragged a notify icon onto my designer. I coded my desired functionality for the NotifyIcon's behavior inside the Form1.vb file. I think I remember something about adding a module to the project, ...

I am using MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx() for my message loop, and Shell_NotifyIcon to create tray icons. Here's the deal: Whenever the tray icon sends messages to it's owner window, the window won't receive the messages right away, instead they will get queued until any other type of message arrives (WM_MOUSEMOVE, for example). Seems l...
I have an application that uses a NotifyIcon in the tray to hide/restore the application, as well as pop up notices to the user of application events. My application has a notification queue, and I use the NotificationIcon.BalloonTipClosed event to determine when to reset the balloon and show the next notification (if there's one in the ...
I'm using the following code: notify.ShowBalloonTip( 15000, "Reminder!", myText, System.Windows.Forms.ToolTipIcon.None); But the problem is the balloon almost always hides one layer behind the active window.

I'm currently writing an application that has a NotifyIcon and I'm trying to figure out a way to overlay text on to it. So for example, if the icon indicates the number of files open, it has the icon plus the number on top of it. Is there a way to do that?
