Notification Area (Tray)

Dan Antion
I have searched through archives of this group, and I saw references to
some older work regarding the Tray, or system notification area.  I have
an appliaction that I would like to run/control out of the tray.  Most
of the links I tried to follow were not successful.

Can anyone point me to anything either within Dophin 5.1 or previous
work that may help get me started.

Thanks in advance,

Dan Antion

Dan,

you might take a look at a package I wrote some time ago. It shows you
how to use the Traybar from Dolphin:

Udo,

The notify shell works like I hoped, thanks!

I did run into one problem though.  While testing in the development
environment, the task bar entry for the minimized window is hidden, and
the tray icon is visible.  I used the click event on the tray icon to
show the window, and all is well.

In run time, when I minimze the application, the tray icon diappears as
well.  Any thoughts as to why this might happen?  I am running on
Windows XP Pro.

For now, I stopped hiding the window when minimized.

Thanks again,
Dan
