Hi
I have an control app which starts up with a small info message then sits
down as a tray icon while it does its work. When started manually (e.g.from a
shortcut) this always works fine. However the app is designed to start
automatically (via a windows service) whoever is logged on. Sometimes, when
started by the service, neither the info message nor the tray icon appear.
The app is working fine in the background, but without the tray icon users
can't make adjustments to the app.
Why should the app behave differently in this way?

Are you handling the proper user logon events and registering your icon at that
time, or just during your startup (when no user is logged on)?

I'm not handling lgone events (is there an evenmt handler for this - what's
it called?) but after doing some tests this seems not to be the problem. In
fact every time the system starts from a reboot (even if nobody logs on for
several minutes) the icon appears.
It's most likely not to appear when the app is stopped then restarted by
stopping and then restarting the control service, with the same user logged
on throughout.
Although this is not a likely sequence to manually go through, it is in
effect what happens if the main app freezes and the control app then does its
job of restarting the main app.

Hello all, I wrote a shell program a few years ago in VB6 that needs
to be modified. The problem I have is this:
The SysAdmin uses this shell in place of Explorer, so there is no
taskbar. When his users run PC Anywhere from the shell, and minimize
it, it minimizes to the system tray. With no task bar, there is no
system tray, so there is no way to restore the PC Anywhere window.
The shell starts PC Anywhere using ShellExecute. I...

Hi,
I have a form with a tray icon. However, when I minimize the form, it
stays visible - not in the task bar (I have showintaskbar property set
to false), but in a form of a rectangle sitting above the task bar.
Can't figure out why that happens - it looks very ugly...
Any ideas ?

Hi,
I'm having a hard time getting my service to show a sys tray icon. I've
tried to create a separate Windows application where I simply add a
notification icon to the form. In the OnStart method of the service I simply
try to start the windows application which then should show the icon.
I can't get it to work! When I run the separate Windows application the icon
turns up, but when I start it from the service it doesn't. How should I...

Hi,
I want to develop a Window Service in C# that should be capable of
sisplaying the a icon in the window tray.
Based on some logic in service, icon should be changed to some other
color/image and I needed single click, double click event and context
menu also on that tray icon to perform some other operation and show
some window form.

Hello--
I have made a C# executable that monitors the server it is placed on.
This works great so far.
Since I don't have physical access to this machine, I have my
executable launched by task manager and it runs in the background. Its
owner is SYSTEM, so that when I log out of terminal services, the
application is still running.

I am using VS2005 (vb) and I have a program that starts when Windows boots

The conventional approach is easy enough; drop a NotifyIcon onto a Form.
When the form is loaded - bingo - the icon appears in the System Tray.
I can't use this approach though. I'm writing a service. But I'd like my
service to install an icon on the System Tray so that the user can start /
stop / and otherwise control the service interactively, and without having
to go to the Services applet. How do I do this?
Thanks for your advice.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
