    Resolved [RESOLVED] How to trigger code when mouse is over systray icon?

    I have added my application with an icon to the system tray. How do I sense when the mouse is over it?

    Regardless which method you used to receive message traffic from the tray, you should be able to trap for a WM_MouseMove message: &H200

    You need to assign WM_MOUSEMOVE message to uCallBackMessage property when you initialize NOTIFYICONDATA structure:
    Code:
        NID.uCallBackMessage = WM_MOUSEMOVE
    NID.szTip = "Mouse is over systray icon"
