Hi, I have a program, that when minimised runs in the system tray. Everything appears to work ok, until I quit the program. The icon for the program still sits in the system tray until i move the mouse over it, then it goes.
how can i get the icon to disappear as soon as the program is terminated.
thanks in advance

I have the same problem and I implemented the following solution. I have a dummy form that holds the icon that is displayed in the tray and when I unload the form from memory and then execute a DoEvents followed by the End statement explicitly my icon goes away properly. However if I do not use the End statement to terminate the program I have the same problem as you are now experincing.

If you wrote your own code to display the icon in the systray, then you must explicitly destroy the icon you created by using the parameter 'NIM_DELETE' (&H2) for the Shell_NotifyIcon API. If you're using a control or some dll, then I must say, the author of the program should know better, you can't do much about it since the icon is controled by that app and not you. If you need a Tray control, I have one in my page
