NotifyIcon without a Form

Hi,

I would like to write an app that is just a NotifyIcon - without a main form. I have tried to call "Hide()" methods of my main form but it doesn't hide! I have also tried writing a standard app without the Form (just code) but I can't get hold of the NotifyIcon as it seems to be wrapped to a form in the framework.

Does anybody know how to do this or have an example of how I may do this?

Many thanks in advance,
DJ

Dont know if its possible to have just a notify icon, but you can hide your main form like this

Code:

---

sysTrayIcon.Visible = true;
this.Visible = false;

---

I know, just a workaround, but it worked for me.

You can create a class like this

Code:

---

class CNotify
{
        System.ComponentModel.Container componentes;
        System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon ni;
        System.Drawing.Icon Icono;

        public CNotify()
        {
                Inicializa();
        }
        private void Inicializa()
        {
                Icono= new Icon(GetType(), "post1_1.ico");
                componentes= new System.ComponentModel.Container();
                ni= new NotifyIcon(componentes);
                ni.Text= "Test Notify Icon";
                ni.Icon= Icono;
                ni.Visible= true;
                ni.Click+=new EventHandler(ni_Click);
        }

        private void ni_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
                MessageBox.Show("Click in NotifyIcon");
        }
}

---

and in the start point of the application write this.

Code:

---

[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
        CNotify test;
        test= new CNotify();
        Application.Run();
}

---

if you want to end the application just send exit.

Disculpen si tengo un error en mi ingles, trato de escribir lo mejor que puedo.
