Tray icon application, events

Zamdrist

Trying to get my tray icon application to work as expected. Normally
when you close an opened try icon application it minimizes to the
tray. I have that part working by interrupting the close even in the
Closing event by using e.Cancel = True.

Unfortunately this also seems to interfere with closing the
application when you shut down windows...windo ws won't shutdown until
I explicit close my tray icon application, using a context menu event,
Application.Exi t.

Thoughts, ideas? Thanks.

Catch the WM_ENDSESSION message in your WndProc method and dont set Cancel
to true if you have received this message.

Tray Icon Problem

by: Zeljko | last post by:

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 ? Zeljko

Tray icon etc. not showing when started by Service

by: quilkin | last post by:

Hi I have an control app which starts up with a small info message then sits down as a tray icon while it does its work. When started manually (e.g.from a shortcut) this always works fine. However the app is designed to start automatically (via a windows service) whoever is logged on. Sometimes, when started by the service, neither the info message nor the tray icon appear. The app is working fine in the background, but without the tray...

I know it is working because I can get the balloon tip to appear and where the icon is supposed to be there just isn't an icon. just a blank...

System tray icon does not always show when starting app when Windows starts

by: Patrick Dugan | last post by:

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...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

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,...
