Displaying text in System Tray/Notification Area

[s.storrow]

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

Stewart

The only help you'll get from here is this link, since this is a
question better asked in a windows programming group.
