    visual c++ win32 task tray icon

    im trying to add an tasktray icon to this code

    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    
    const wchar_t g_szClassName[] = L"WindowCreation";
    
    // Step 4: the Window Procedure
    LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
    {
        switch(msg)
        {
            case WM_CLOSE:
                DestroyWindow(hwnd);
            break;
            case WM_DESTROY:
                PostQuitMessage(0);
            break;
            default:
                return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
        }
        return 0;
    }
    
    int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
        LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
    {
        WNDCLASSEX wc;
        HWND hwnd;
        MSG Msg;
    
        //Step 1: Registering the Window Class
        wc.cbSize             = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
        wc.style               = 0;
        wc.lpfnWndProc     = WndProc;
        wc.cbClsExtra        = 0;
        wc.cbWndExtra      = 0;
        wc.hInstance         = hInstance;
        wc.hIcon               = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
        wc.hCursor             = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
        wc.hbrBackground    = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
        wc.lpszMenuName     = NULL;
        wc.lpszClassName      = g_szClassName;
        wc.hIconSm              = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
    
        if(!RegisterClassEx(&wc))
        {
            MessageBox(NULL, "Window Registration Failed!", "Error!",
                MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
            return 0;
        }
    
        // Step 2: Creating the Window
        hwnd = CreateWindowEx(
            WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
            g_szClassName,
            L"WindowCreation",
            WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
            CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 240, 120,
            NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
    
        if(hwnd == NULL)
        {
            MessageBox(NULL,L"Window Creation Failed!",:L"Error!",
                MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
            return 0;
        }
    
        ShowWindow(hwnd, nCmdShow);
        UpdateWindow(hwnd);
    
        // Step 3: The Message Loop
        while(GetMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)
        {
            TranslateMessage(&Msg);
            DispatchMessage(&Msg);
        }
        return Msg.wParam;
    }
    I cant find one on google thats a win32 application. Most of them are in console application, and MFC.

    Thanks for your help!!!!

    Have a look at the NOTIFYICONDATA struct and the Shell_NotifyIcon function.
