Adding text based clock to the systray

Hi -

I'd like to write a VB6 program to add a couple of text based clocks (for
different time zones) to the systray so they'll always be visible. I can add
an icon to the systray, but the API's to do that only support adding icons.

I don't want to just put a window over the systray. Does anyone know how to
do this properly?
Thanks -

Chuck
