notifyicon

According to everything I've seen, the following C++ program should be displaying a balloon tool tip from the tray icon when I left-click in the application window, yet it's not working. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? This is on XP with version 6.0 of Shell32.dll (verified with DllGetVersion). Thanks! #include "stdafx.h" #include "shellapi.h" LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam); int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPTSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { MSG msg; WNDCLASS wc; memset(&wc, 0, sizeof(wc)); wc.lpfnWndProc

My application is designed to sit in the system tray and behave similarly to the Network/Volume/Power/Action Centre tray items in Windows 7 (and the equivalent items in Windows Vista). That is, it becomes visible when the tray icon is clicked, and becomes hidden when focus is lost. The application is written in WPF, but I am currently using NotifyIcon from WinForms for the tray icon. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions as to how I might determine the position (i.e. screen coordinates) of my application's tray icon. The default Windows Vista/7 tray items have some way of doing

I have WPF desktop application which is pushing some notifications using: NotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(,,,ToolTipIcon.None) . The problem is: Windows 10 uses new "Windows 10 rectangle with image and text" style for Balloon notifications (I don't know how exactly it is called). If I use ToolTipIcon.None parameter, it gets my application icon which was set to NotifyIcon.Icon property and shows it in this Balloon notification. And this icon is blurred/stretched (like too small icon was taken and stretched to size which is needed for this ballon image). My ico-file contains several sizes: 16*16, 32

i am using this code under my form1_load notifyIcon1.Visible = true; notifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(5000, "Welcome", "Hello " + User, ToolTipIcon.Info); I even checked my registery and the value was 1. Why is the baloon not showing? I do have a icon form my notify icon. and it is showing up. The Baloon is not though! You may need to post the rest of the code that's in your form's load event, but here's a couple of suggestions: Make sure the form's Load event is actually hooked up. Make sure you've assigned an icon for the notify icon. Also, note that the balloon tip isn't guaranteed to show. See

This question already has answers here : Best Icon size for displaying in the tray (3 answers) I want to change the notification icon of my application but don't know what is the size so as to make it properly displayed. Currently it is automatically resized and break my pixels! Please help! It's 16x16. If you create a .ico file that supports 16, 32, 48 and 256 sizes, you're covered. In fact the size of the icon will vary according to the system DPI. WPF exposes the recommended pixel width and height of small icons with SystemParameters.SmallIconWidth and SystemParameters.SmallIconHeight .

I am using Visual Studio 2010, C#, on Windows 7. I have added a notify control to my project and set it to an icon I have imported to the project. The icon image is really good looking if I just preview it, but once I run my code and see it in the system tray, then it's really terrible, like the sides are dotted instead of straight lines and so on. I have tried 16x16, 24x24, 32x32 and 48x48 of the same file but I am having terrible results. Have I missed anything? myNotifyIcon.Icon = SysDir.Properties.Resources.icon2_32_ico_rgba; Edit: The info I am linking seems to be suspect at this point.

How I can I set a NotifyIcon to be always visible in the right tray: http://screensnapr.com/v/qKWHe2.png because it shifts it over into the inactive icon window: http://screensnapr.com/v/jjtuK0.png The issue is that the tray icon has a context menu that lets someone take a screen shot. So every time they take a screenshot, that inactive icon window is in the picture, blocking whatever is behind it like a photo bomber. I know it is possible to do it through code because other applications such as comodo has done it without having me drag and drop the icon onto there. For pining a shortcut to
