This problem has been afflicting me for quite a while and it's been really annoying. Every time I login after a reboot/power cycle the explorer takes some time to show up. I've taken the step of waiting for all the services to boot up and then I login, but it doesn't make any difference. The result is always the same: Some of the icons ...

I'm having trouble with something that I thought would be easy... I can't get my NotifyIcon to show a balloon tip. The basic code is: public void ShowSystrayBubble(string msg, int ms) { sysTrayIcon.Visible = true; sysTrayIcon.ShowBalloonTip(20, "Title", "Text", ToolTipIcon.None); } Nothing happens when I execute this code. I rea...
I'm creating a WPF app and have a system tray icon with a context menu. For the menu items I want to use WPF commands but when I assign them they are always greyed out even though the (same) commands are enabled in other places. MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem(); menuItem.Header = "Exit"; menuItem.Command = CustomCommands.ExitApplicati...
How can I show a systray tooltip longer than 63 chars? NotifyIcon.Text has a 63 chars limit, but I've seen that VNC Server has a longer tooltip. How can I do what VNC Server does? ...
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". Also changing the setting for that systray icon to "Always Show" or "Always Hid...

When an application adds an icon to the system tray and minimises to it, there must be a way to restore it. However, when it comes to restoring the window I'm not sure what the 'correct' behaviour is for applications. Do I restore on a double click, on a single click, or not at all? What's the Windows standard? ...
Since I've finally got an answer for this question: Can you send a signal to windows explorer to make it refresh the systray icons, that asks about getting rid of dead systray icons, I would like to ask for the opposite. Is there a way to "nudge" an application to re-show it's systray icon if it has been lost? It happens to my Apache ...
I'm trying to show a popup menu when right clicking my Notification Icon, which works fine; But I want the menu to disappear when the user clicks outside of that menu. It's supposedly by design (as per this document: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/135788), but no decent app I know of behaves like this. I've tried calling SetForegroundW...

Windows 7 allows users to hide/show icons in the "notification area" (aka systray). By default I think they're hidden? Is it possible to programatically (either through the app or through an installer) to force icons to appear? Edit: I'm not looking for a way to override the user's request. What I'm asking, is there a way to INITIALLY...

I've successfully created an app that minimizes to the tray using a NotifyIcon. When the form is manually closed it is successfully hidden from the desktop, taskbar, and alt-tab. The problem occurs when trying to start with the app minimized. At first the problem was that the app would be minimized but would still appear in the alt-tab d...
Is it possible to restore a 3rd Party application which has been minimized to the SysTray? Calling ShowWindow is fine on apps minimized to the TaskBar but where the app has been minimized to the SysTray it appears its handle gets set to zero, and of course ShowWindow can't find it. ...

Hi, I'm trying to hijack an existing window and replace it with the contents of a Winforms I own. I figured it would be pretty cool swapping the form's inner handle with the one I want to override, and wondered if anyone ever tried it? Cheers, Florian ...
Hello everyone! I'm posting this here since it took a lot of time for me to understand how the whole thing works when trying to hide a form in the systray. My question basically was: How can I hide a windows form running operations to the system tray? CFP. ...
I've found a few tutorials that explain how to use the windows API to get a custom icon in the system tray. These are all for Visual Basic, and they don't seem to be scaling to VBA well. I'm following this short tutorial: http://atchoo.org/vb/systray.php Basically, you have to set the hIcon value (a 'long' variable) but it does not wo...
