Hi, I am writing a c# code that opens a file and searches for some condition and according to the condition that occuring tray icon changes.This should be done every 10 minutes.

I have coded this part well but I can not exit my application from a context menu item(exit) which never appears.

If I erase the line where my while loop appear, context menu appears and every thing goes well.

Do you have any suggestion where I might have made a mistake? I am a c# newbie and I cannot find the solution...

thanks for your help very much..


Here is the code:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon notifyIcon1;
private System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu contextMenu1;
private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItem1;
private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components;
private System.Boolean check;

public Form1()
{
this.check=true;
//this.HideApp();
//this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
this.contextMenu1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu();
this.menuItem1 = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem();
// Initialize contextMenu1
this.contextMenu1.MenuItems.AddRange(
new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem[] {this.menuItem1});

// Initialize menuItem1
this.menuItem1.Index = 0;
this.menuItem1.Text = "E&xit";
this.menuItem1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.menuItem1_Click);

// Set up how the form should be displayed.
//this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 266);

this.Text = "Notify Icon Example";

// Create the NotifyIcon.

this.notifyIcon1 = new System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon(this.components);
notifyIcon1.ContextMenu = this.contextMenu1;

// The Text property sets the text that will be displayed,
// in a tooltip, when the mouse hovers over the systray icon.
notifyIcon1.Text = "Form1 (Situation controller)";
notifyIcon1.Visible = true;
notifyIcon1.Icon = new Icon("Icon2.ico");
while(this.check==true)
{
FileStream file = new FileStream("path.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read,FileShare.Read);
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(file);
string s;
bool control=false;
while((s = sr.ReadLine())!= null)
{
if(s.IndexOf("down")!=-1)
{
control=true;
}
}
if(control==true)
{
notifyIcon1.Icon = new Icon("Icon2.ico");
}
else
{
notifyIcon1.Icon = new Icon("Icon1.ico");
}
sr.Close();
file.Close();
//bu kısmı degistirdim
Thread.Sleep(1000*10*1);//1000*60*10
//this.Close();
//Application.Exit();
}
this.notifyIcon1.Dispose();
}

protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
{
// Clean up any components being used.
if( disposing )
if (components != null)
components.Dispose();

base.Dispose( disposing );
}

private void notifyIcon1_DoubleClick(object Sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Show the form when the user double clicks on the notify icon.

// Set the WindowState to normal if the form is minimized.
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;

// Activate the form.
this.Activate();
}

private void menuItem1_Click(object Sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.check=false;

notifyIcon1.Visible = false;

Application.Exit();

this.Close();
}

private void InitializeComponent()
{
//
// Form1
//
//this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
//this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 273);
this.Name = "Form1";
this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load);

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

}
public void HideApp()
{
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
Hide();
}
public void ShowApp()
{
Show();
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
}
[STAThread]

static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form1());

}

First of all, edit your post and remove your e-mail address. Never post your real e-mail address so publicly unless reading spam is your favourite hobby.

Next, I haven't read your code properly because, frankly, I'm not prepared to read that much code. If you aren't able to narrow the problem down further then I'll just give general advice.

You say that something is to be done every ten minutes but there seems to be no mention of a Timer. If you want an action performed at an interval then I don't see how you can without a Timer. You would initiate the action (read: call the method) from the Tick event handler of the Timer.

Also, you should add a single NotifyIcon to your form in the designer and then change its Visible and Icon properties as needed.
