You'll probably just need to supply several different icons and then
use the NotifyIcon object to show the appropriate icon at the
appropriate time. For an animated icon, you could use a series of
icons to represent each frame of the animation and use a timer to
periodically change the icon which is showing.

Would i need to create runner thread that sets the icons?

If you don't need to animate the icon, then I wouldn't think you'd
need an extra thread. Just change the icon as needed. If you plane
to animate it, you might want to look into a thread so that it
animates independently of the rest of the program.

VB.NET 2002 on Windows 2000 SP 3 When I start my program, the NotifyIcon appears in the tray, as it should. However, when I close the program, the NotifyIcon remains until I hover over it with my mouse. If I don't hover over it to make it disappear and then open the program again, another one is added, resulting in a multiplicity of the icon in the tray. I've even tried setting its Visible property to false, followed by a call to the...

OK, maybe this is my opinion, maybe these are bugs. Given the folowing: I have a NotifyIcon on my Form, a Context menu associated with the NotifyIcon, and a MenuItem on the ContextMenu set as default. When the default MenuItem is clicked, there is code to no longer show the NotifyIcon. What I feel should happen is when I double-click the NotifyIcon in the system tray, it should perform the default menu item's Click event.

Hi Everyone, My problem concerns ContextMenus. It's easy enough to create one and apply it to a NotifyIcon. When it's compiled and run, it works beautifully. Right click and there you are. But I want it to show the ContextMenu on a left click. This seems to be harder than it should be. I've assigned a click event to the NotifyIcon which it registers, but when I try to use: NotifyIcon1.ContextMenu.Show(Forms.Control control ,...

Can anyone tell me if there is a workable method to get the mouse cursor position on the screen or the NotifyIcon position? I need to display a context menu for the NotifyIcon when clicked and I'd like it to display based on the relative position of the tray icon or mouse pointer if possible (whichever method works). Any help would be much appreciated. - Glen

I've been working on an application which has a NotifyIcon (system tray icon), and a corresponding ContextMenu. I want to be able to update this menu dynamically. However, when I make changes to the menu, it seems to disappear. This only breaks when the context menu is tied to a NotifyIcon - not to any other control. Below is a C# file for a form which should illustrate this (at least it does on my machine!). The same contextmenu is...

Hello Jason, Thanks for using Microsoft Newsgroup Support Service, my name is Ji Zhou and I will be working on this issue with you. I have tried to but cannot reproduce your issue on my side. From your codes, I think the logical is, every time the Timer's elapsed event fires, we call the Check_For_Version_Update() function. From the Check_For_Version_Update() function, we judge a condition statement, and determine whether to call...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
