I have a NotifyIcon application. (c# 2) I want to be able to catch a
kill/shutdown attempt so that I can call Dispose() to remove the icon. I
tried to create an event handler for ApplicationExit and put my icon
dispose call in there, but when process.kill() is called from an outside
app on the notifyicon app, the event doesn't get raised. the app closes
but the icon remains in the tray as dispose was never called.
any ideas?
another way of telling the notifyicon class that it needs to close?
Thanks.

If TerminateProces s is called, which I guess is what Process.Kill probably
does, *no more code in the targetted process gets to run*. I just had to
work around this problem myself (process being killed, not using NotifyIcon)
and did so by having another process waiting on the process handle of the
first which is signalled when the process ends for any reason, triggering my
cleanup. Not sure how or even if you can do out-of-process cleanup with
shell notification icons though.

To follow up to my previous message -- the shell itself should wait on the
process handle for each process that has one or more tray icons, and remove
them if the process terminates. That it does not could be considered a bug.
Right now the icon is detected as an orphan and removed the next time the
user interacts with it in any way, like moving the mouse over it. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

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

Hi,
In my application, on some given actions while debugging in Visual Studio, I
suddenly get a "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception was unhandled"

The problem is that this exception isn't raised somewhere in a method, so it
just shows up, and it causes the application to shut down.
Is there anyway how to catch this kinds of exceptions? Can I put somewhere a

My app has a notify Icon, but after the app exits, the Icon is still
visible, and then when I runthe app multiple times I get multiple icons so
that my status bas keeps accumulating them to the point it becomes
un-usable. The only fix I have found is to re-boot. Not a godd solution.
How do I get this to stop happening?

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...

Variable scope doesn't make sense to me when it comes to Try Catch Finally.

When I add a Button to my NotifyIcon program I get the following:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in
unknown module.
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I suspect this is a common novice error but I haven't any idea what I need to
do to get this to work. "Help" seems to be geared toward people who have been
coding for a couple of years!

Hello All,
I am working on .NET based project in Visual C++. I am using notifyIcon tool in my application. I am facing a weird problem. Even after closing the application, the notifyIcon still remain in system tray and remove when I mouse over it.

Thanks in advance for help.

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.

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,...
