My program puts an icon in the system tray because the user may minimize to it. However, if the application crashes, or I stop the app from running in VS it leaves the icon in it until I hover over it with the mouse.

Hey Guys, I've built a csharp app that I want to start just in the notification area. The icon appears when it is run, and it does not appear in the task bar (due to ShowInTaskbar = false & WindowState = Minimized). However when it first runs I can still alt-tab to it. Is there anyway to prevent this behaviour? Or have I missed a settin...

The problem is that these solutions work in gnome(Linux) but not in ...

I have a few old apps I've written (in Delphi) which for various reasons use a system tray icon. Most are using AppControls TacTrayIcon or some other similar component. Here's my question: How does one control the position of a tray icon? (i.e. where it is, say, relative to the system time -- 1st position/"slot", 2nd position/"slot", et...
