Closing a NotifyIcon Application

tim
I have an vb application that is started/stopped using the
System.Diagnost ics.Process class. The application has both a form,
and a notifyicon. (The form is displayed when the user clicks the
notifyicon, and hidden when the user minimizes the form)

The problem I've run into is that Process class is unable to close the
application using either the CloseMainWindow () or Close() method, when
the form is hidden. It seems that the form's WndProc() method is not
called while it's hidden. I could use the Process's Kill method, but
that doesn't allow me to do some cleanup (most notably removing the
icon from the tray)

Thanks for any suggestions, Tim

I am trying to write an application that runs in the system tray, so I am using a NotifyIcon not associated with a Form. My "main" class has an instance of the NotifyIcon, and its ContextMenu, as well as other dialogs etc that are accessed through the ContextMenu. However, since there is no window open, the main thread completes after initializing everything and the application exits. I tried to add a keep alive thread that runs until...

I've been working on an application which has a NotifyIcon (system tray icon), and a corresponding ContextMenu. I want to be able to update this menu dynamically. However, when I make changes to the menu, it seems to disappear. This only breaks when the context menu is tied to a NotifyIcon - not to any other control. Below is a C# file for a form which should illustrate this (at least it does on my machine!). The same contextmenu is...

I am in the process of developing a Windows Service which will: (1) monitor multiple network shares; (2) marshal text file transfers into an SQL Server 2000 instance; and (3) provide messaging services via email and a customized event log viewer.

The NotifyIcon component appears to be a logical candidate and worked...

Hello, I have an application with a notifyIcon. When my application's main form is hidden by some other window I would like to bring it in front by single-clicking the NotifyIcon. However, I can't get it done. In the Click event I've used all sorts of methods: this.SetTopLevel(true); this.Show(); this.Focus();

I found this nifty routine that closes a form one by one every time it is called. However, I need to hide them instead of closing them. Is there a way to alter the code? I assume it has something to do with this line here... PostMessage(i, CInt(&H10), vbNullString, vbNullString) Thanks

Hello Jason, Thanks for using Microsoft Newsgroup Support Service, my name is Ji Zhou and I will be working on this issue with you. I have tried to but cannot reproduce your issue on my side. From your codes, I think the logical is, every time the Timer's elapsed event fires, we call the Check_For_Version_Update() function. From the Check_For_Version_Update() function, we judge a condition statement, and determine whether to call...

I have a program which puts an icon in the notification area and has a menu associated with it available by right clicking on the icon. I want the menu items to be selected by single left clicks but I also want the user to be able to single left click on the icon itself to do some other functionality. Here's the problem - the single click on the menu first fires the notifyicon1_click() routine and then the menuitem1_click() routine. How do I...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.
