Icon ???

Hi,

I have a few questions...

1) Is It true that The only Picture in the tray is Ico Format ?
2) I Would like to change my icon in the tray to active_icon - somthing like numbers - 1 thru 255 - is it posiable to display a numbers in the tray ??


Thanks

1. Yes, you can only have icons in the tray
2. Yes you can animate your icon, you can draw numbers on the icon and update it.

Hi,

How could i put numbers in an icon?? such as "241"? how could i display the numbers (max 3 char) ? "9" or "75" or "212"??

Thanks

1. Make a imagelist control
2. Make a picturebox with dimensions 32*32, you could use the one you get your icon events to, to spare resources
3. Draw the numbers on the picturebox
4. Put the picture into the imagelist and extract the icon of it and set it into the tray

kedaman, - thanks for the replys......

Can u tell me where can i find a Gouge...or somthing else that can display a nice grhapic picture of a numbers???

Somthing like ProgressBar Or Compas Or Car Watch? U know...
(What i looking for is somthing nice to display insted of numbers - thats all)

Best Regards

Actually i don't know where to find but i've done a pie chart for the tray icon, i could send you it if you post your email, also progress gauges are fairly easy to do on your own.

Kedaman - r u "Listen" all the time??

God Bless u

Well, I get email notification, if thats what u mean, what did you find any or?

Kedaman - I don't know what to do, I thing i am going to leave it asis (ugly - i know). I thnik that u have got somthing like drowing colorfull line in your CPU (or somthing) project? May be i will find some gauge or clock that can display numbers.

Thanks And Best Regards

Yes you can have that one, just know what scale youre using.

Code:

---

Line (x, 0)-(x, (1 - CPUUsage) * ScaleHeight), &HFF - n / maxval * &H100 + n / maxval * &H10000

---

Well replace CPUUsage with a value that is scaled from 0 to 1, and use the line method & scaleheight on your picturebox.
