I'm trying to write a piece of software in C++ which will display a
clock in the windows system tray. I am able to create icons there,
but i am not sure whether it is possible to write text there, similar
to how the windows clock works.
I have seen various freeware apps which do this so i assume there must
be a method, but i am having difficulty locating information on how to
code it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

This is as boiled down as I can make it.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
