Is there a way to clear system tray during VB.NET app crash?

Tom
Hello,

System tray icon informs users that the apps is running in the background.
However, there are instances that the app might crash and after that the app
icon in the system tray is still displayed. It goes away when the mouse is
pointed over the icon.
I wonder if there is any way to force system tray refresh during the VB.NET
app crash?

I tried to add some code in the finalize but it didn't do anything. I think
that finalize was not even executed.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Tom

Tom,

Why don't you focus your efforts on resolving the application crashes
instead?

Hi I'm writing a commercial program which must be reliable. It has to do some basic reading and writing to and from files on the hard disk, and also to a floppy. I have foreseen a potential problem. The program may crash unexpectedly while writing to the file. If so, my program should detect this during startup, and then (during startup) probably delete the data added to the file and redo the writing operation.

I successfully made a system tray application. When I do shut down the computer, how does the computer can instruct my application to shut down? For the moment, if I don't quit my application, system asks to kill an unresponsive task before shut sown. How does I make shut down run more correctly? Thank you Nicolas Poirier

I have pasted at the end of this message a small sample program I whipped up to do some testing. It's a form with a datagrid and two buttons. Each button clears the dataTable that is the source of the dataGrid, and then adds five rows. Button2 is the same as button1 just that it does this in a different thread (I was testing if I was having some threading issues). Anyway, it seems that the location of the call to dt.Rows.Clear()...

I am using VS2005 (vb) and I have a program that starts when Windows boots up. Occasionally the icon that should appear in the system tray does not show up. The program is still running in memory but the tray icon is not there. If I start the program after Windows has booted up the icon shows every time. I am assuming that the reason is due to the icon being created before the system tray is loaded/running. I have used a timer with...

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,...
