Hi there.
I have created a Windows Control Library project within my solution (using
VB.Net 2003) and created a control which inherits the MenuItem class but
takes cares of the drawing of the menu.
So far so good. It takes care of all the drawing of the menuitems if they
are part of the form's mainmenu or if they are part of a context menu of an
item of the form (Listview, etc).
However, if the context menu is assigned to the Notify Icon control, the
menus are NOT drawn. The menus become just a few pixels wide with no text or
anything on them.
Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? Thanks!

Thanks ALOT!
I was already doing some research on the net to develop my own Notify Icon
and had already started coding.
That really saved me loads of time and works like a charm!
Thanks again

Hi,
I have a C# program that changes the notifyIcon during the program.
What I have noticed is that sometimes when the program is over the old
icon will still be in the system tray. But when i move over the icons
in the taskbar the taskbar will immediately update itself and clear
the old icon away.
I was just wondering if this is normal or if I am supposed to "force"
an update of the taskbar system tray icons somehow?

from MenuItem and even tried calling TrackPopupMenuEx directly), but
it just won't work!
I am currently reflecting over the combobox source code (oh joy!), but...

Hi there!
I have successfully create my own ownerdrawn menus.
However, I decided to add some code for the menus to detect if their parent
is a MainMenu object and, if it is, as it is the menuitem beeing displayed
in the form's menu bar, it draws it differently.
So far so good.
But there are two thing I can't get around.
1 - How can I draw a custom menu when the mouse is over the menu item but
the user hasn't clicked it, just like in...

I have an interesting problem with my Notify Icon. I cannot get it to

My service utilizes an Asynchronous Callback to load a queue. There is

that the Notify Icon may have issues when the thread that instanctiates...

Hi there,
I have an app whose structure is as follows: a module calls a custom
application context containing a notify icon and associated context menu,
which in turn acts upon an instance of another class, I'll call Class1 (i.e.
accesses its startup, shutdown, print reports methods).
Basically, Class1 manages communication between two other classes: one is a
class that listens for a socket connection from another application and the...

I am going to make an application in monitor and do something on time.
A part of it is an Notify icon(System Tray Icon),
Which project type can I be used for Just showing the notify icon
without any form?
What I mean is something like When you minimize the MSN Messager as a
tray icon.
I have tried a service project and application project, all these seems
cannot meet the goal.

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.
