A way to ensure that a system tray icon is removed… guaranteed

Question

Is there a way to guarantee that your system tray icon is removed?

To add the system tray icon you do:

Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &m_tnd);
         


        

Answer 1

Another thing most programmers forget to check for is if the explorer restarts/crashes. Its nice if the application handle this and recreate its own icon.

Just check for Message WM_TASKBARCREATED and recreate the icon.
