Placing an icon in the system tray

Are there any source code examples of how to place an icon in the system
tray using vb.net and a smart device? I have found examples for vb.net but
they do not work for smart device (PPC) Can anyone point me to a specific
example of placing an icon in the system tray of a PPC suing VB.NET?

The 'NotifyIcon' class is not supported by the .NET Compact Framework.

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

I want my application to run most of the time as just an notify icon visible in the system tray, with some dialogs windows that open if the user selects an option from the context menu on the tray icon.

Sorry for the repost, but this has been driving me mad for the past few days. There must be a simple solution. There are many other posts about this problem upon an application exit, but my problem is slightly different as my application does exit....... I have a tray icon that wont disappear after calling trayIcon.visible = false;

It fires up perfectly on boot, however if the user logs off, and then logs back in (not reboot), or if the system goes to...

Hi, I have a VB.NET Service application that's running fine under the Local System account. But for configuration purposes I don't want to be dependent on modifying the registry manually or using an seperate application (like I do now). I want to implement a system tray icon when someone logs on to the console. I've tried several samples but I can't get the icon to the system tray. I know there are some issues because the logged on...

I searched for a couple hours lastnight on example code of how to go about making an item in the System Tray (notification area) not be square. I've found several programs that do this but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to actually get this to work. I checked out some system messages that NotifyIcon uses thinking that I could just make my component from scratch using these but nothing seemed to be allowed to adjust the...

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...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
