notify icon/context menu and Windows service

ld
Hi,
I have a Windows service that creates a tray icon. the tray icon gets
created no problem however I cannot get any of the events on this icon to be
fired in the Service. So if you double click on the icon nothing happens.
Also I am interested in having a context menu associated to this icon.
Is this impossible to do because I am dealing with a service? or is there a
workaround?

Hi there. I have created a Windows Control Library project within my solution (using VB.Net 2003) and created a control which inherits the MenuItem class but takes cares of the drawing of the menu. So far so good. It takes care of all the drawing of the menuitems if they are part of the form's mainmenu or if they are part of a context menu of an item of the form (Listview, etc). However, if the context menu is assigned to the Notify Icon...

I have an interesting problem with my Notify Icon. I cannot get it to display when I start a web service. I have no problems when I test the software on a Windows program. But the Icon will not display for the service. My service utilizes an Asynchronous Callback to load a queue. There is other background processing based on time (different thread). I have heard that the Notify Icon may have issues when the thread that instanctiates...

i'd like to create an application which would run in the background, & there'd be an icon in the system tray (can use the notify icon). But HOW can i make the form invisible. What i'd like to do is, when the exe is run, ONLY the icon should appear in the system tray & nothing else. & if necessary the user can click on the icon & there'd be a menu to load the necessary forms. How can i do this.

Basically, Class1 manages communication between two other classes: one is a class that listens for a socket connection from another application and the...

I am going to make an application in monitor and do something on time. A part of it is an Notify icon(System Tray Icon), Which project type can I be used for Just showing the notify icon without any form? What I mean is something like When you minimize the MSN Messager as a tray icon. I have tried a service project and application project, all these seems cannot meet the goal.

I'm trying to create a context menu that pops up upon right clicking the notify icon of my application. The menu works great with plain text... no problem. My problem is that I want to add some sparkle by displaying a different highlighting scheme for the individual mouse over events and an icon on each item in the menu. I can do this, and have successfully done this in a regular main menu and a context menu that is set to an item on a...

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. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
