Notify Icon not being displayed

hi, im using this code to display a notifyicon object with information
provided at runtime

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)

MyBase.WndProc( m)

If m.Msg = WM_SYSCOMMAND Then

Select Case m.WParam.ToInt3 2

Case 1000

Dim tray As New NotifyIcon

tray.Icon = Icon.FromHandle (m.HWnd)
tray.Visible = True

AddHandler tray.DoubleClic k, AddressOf
NotifyIcon1_Dou bleClick

SendMessage(m.H Wnd.ToInt32, 0, Nothing, Nothing)

End Select

End If

End Sub
what i am attempting to do is recreate a project i saw on CodeProject where
you add a menu "Tray Me" to the System menu and when a user clicks on it, the
window is hidden and an icon is displayed, yet this doesnt work....any help
would be great, thanks

You might want to try declaring tray as NotifyIcon in the form
declarations, rather than as a local variable.

place a notify icon on your form and set visible as you want.

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?

Hi there, this is probably really dumb, but I am using a dialog as my main form and my startup form is my splash screen - which implements some progress bars to load up some relevant data. When that is done, loading form does this: Me.Visible = False mainform.ShowDialog() Application.Exit() So far so good (is this a dumb way of doing that???). Now, I am

I have an interesting problem with my Notify Icon. I cannot get it to display when I start a web service. I have no problems when I test the software on a Windows program. But the Icon will not display for the service. My service utilizes an Asynchronous Callback to load a queue. There is other background processing based on time (different thread). I have heard that the Notify Icon may have issues when the thread that instanctiates...

i'd like to create an application which would run in the background, & there'd be an icon in the system tray (can use the notify icon). But HOW can i make the form invisible. What i'd like to do is, when the exe is run, ONLY the icon should appear in the system tray & nothing else. & if necessary the user can click on the icon & there'd be a menu to load the necessary forms. How can i do this.

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 "<=>".

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
