how can i make an animated system tray icon (like icq when it receives a message)? can anyone help, please!!!!
if you know how to add a systray icon, then all you have to do is to add a timer and in the timer event add some code to change the icon every 1 or 2 seconds, i did not do it before but i would do it like this.
i know how to put the icon on the systray, but if i put the code in a timer, it gets very weird. first it unloads the icon and then reloads it, this makes the systray, bigger and smaller continously. i hope u know what i mean.
there is this hexadecimal number you cvan put in flag and it updates the icon......
hope sumone here knows the number..........
got it
use this
Shell_NotifyIcon &H1, tTrayIcon
it will update the trayicon specified in the handle of tTrayIcon.hwnd with the one specified in tTrayIcon, thus achieving the effect like ICQ does
i cant get this thing to work
