I would like to make a program that puts an icon into the desk tray and when
relevant changes it to an animated icon (much like the internet connection
icon).
Before I start playing around with code I wanted to know what I need in way
of graphics? Which type of file, size, color system and anything else I will
need from the graphics designer?
thanx

You should post again in either the shell group
microsoft.publi c.platformsdk.s hell
or perhaps the UI group
microsoft.publi c.win32.program mer.ui
As far as I know - and I could be wrong - the shell exposes a single
function for manipulating icons in its tray in Shell_NotifyIco n(). Someone
in the shell or UI groups should be able to explain your options, if any,
with respect to animation.

Will
thanx! i'll give them a try.

Hi,
I have a form with a tray icon. However, when I minimize the form, it
stays visible - not in the task bar (I have showintaskbar property set
to false), but in a form of a rectangle sitting above the task bar.
Can't figure out why that happens - it looks very ugly...
Any ideas ?

I'm a coder not an icon designer. However, I've been tasked with getting a
NotifyIcon to look better in the task tray. I just can't seem to do it
though. Does anybody know what the optimal requirements are for the icon

try looks bad. I've tried sizes of 16x16, 20x20, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48, and
128x128. I've tried 16, 256, and true color. But either the icon is a...

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

before the system tray is loaded/running. I have used a timer with...
