I successfully made a system tray application.
When I do shut down the computer, how does the computer can instruct my
application to shut down?
For the moment, if I don't quit my application, system asks to kill an
unresponsive task before shut sown.
How does I make shut down run more correctly?
Thank you

Are you cancelling your program's shut down in any way ? Perhaps in
QueryUnlaod ?
If so, make sure that you trap the system shutdown. Look in the help
file for the UnloadMode passed into that event and it's meanings.
You should yield when the request comes from task manager and system
shut down; clean up, unload all your Forms, trayicon, objects, timers,
etc.. and finally your main form.

Unless there's something weird going on with your app, it should just
normally upon Windows shutting down. There's something "not right" about
your app that's preventing it from properly closing. Perhaps it has to do
with having added an icon to the system tray. You're not using WM_MOUSEMOVE
as the callback message (which is a hack), are you? Is your main form the
form used to add the icon to the system tray (IOW, the form used to specify
the hwnd of the NOTIFYICONDATA structure)?
You most likely need to post your code on how you're adding an icon to the
system tray as well as your shutdown code. That way, we can see exactly
what you're doing.

'If you have something like this in one of your forms.....
'=======
Private Sub Form_QueryUnloa d(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
Cancel = True
Me.Hide
End Sub
'=======
'Change that to:
'=======
Private Sub Form_QueryUnloa d(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
If UnloadMode = vbFormControlMe nu Then
Cancel = True
Me.Hide
End If
End Sub
'=======
So it only cancels the unload if the user clicks the close button or menu.
The OS can still shut it down.

Hello all, I wrote a shell program a few years ago in VB6 that needs

The SysAdmin uses this shell in place of Explorer, so there is no

it, it minimizes to the system tray. With no task bar, there is no
system tray, so there is no way to restore the PC Anywhere window.
The shell starts PC Anywhere using ShellExecute. I...

Hello,
System tray icon informs users that the apps is running in the background.
However, there are instances that the app might crash and after that the app
icon in the system tray is still displayed. It goes away when the mouse is
pointed over the icon.
I wonder if there is any way to force system tray refresh during the VB.NET
app crash?
I tried to add some code in the finalize but it didn't do anything. I think

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to tell if a process has an icon in
the system tray? And for that matter, the taskbar as well? Currently
I'm just finding out what apps have a MainWindowHandle but not all of
those show in the taskbar always.
Thanks

I'm trying to write a piece of software in C++ which will display a
clock in the windows system tray. I am able to create icons there,
but i am not sure whether it is possible to write text there, similar
to how the windows clock works.
I have seen various freeware apps which do this so i assume there must
be a method, but i am having difficulty locating information on how to
code it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
