Load on startup and icon on system tray

[UTGrim]

I want a program I made to be running in the background from startup (option set by user) and have an icon in the system tray.

Can anybody help me with those two things?

Thanks!

having an icon on the system tray has been discussed more than once. do a search and u'll come with lots of answers.

running in the background needs u to use some api calls. have a look at the api guide at http://www.mentalis.org

loading on startup can have different approaches. one is to put a link in the programs>startup and another is to put a link in the registry at HKCU/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run

Search the forums for startup, and you should get a lot of hits, as it's been discussed even more than the system tray. You can even get a system tray icon with a pop-up menu in it.

Here you got just copy and paste it. I think this is dglienna code that he gave me on here.A couple of weeks ago.

Private Sub Form_Load()
'Add the program to regedit. So it runs each time the computer restarts.
Dim sAppEXE As String
  sAppEXE = App.Path & IIf(Right$(App.Path, 1) = "\", "", "\") & App.EXEName & ".exe"
    SaveSettingString HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", App.Title, Chr$(34) & sAppEXE & Chr$(34)
End Sub
