Hello.

I'm a beginner so I need some help with Visual basic.

1.
I need some example on how to work and create a system icons on taskbar.
These system icons are icons shown where the clock is shown on taskbar at the bottom right.
Then how to create popup messages and etc.


2.
Then I need some example how to check if the process is running. For example every 10 sek could check if the process in task manager is still working .




So I would like to make a program witch will run some ???.exe file, actualy a working program witch I need for printing... And then I would show a icon on taskbars system window that everything is ok. And so the program would check every some seconds if the program is still running and if so then everything would stay as it is, but if the program is not running anymore then the popup window would come out with some message and the icon in taskbars system window would change into some other icon. And than you could click on that system icon and some button options would show up like Run proces, stop proces, exit .... and etc...

So this is what I want to do and if you just can help me with some examples or just tell me where can I find some examples witch are showing how to work with system icons on taskbar and how to check if the process is still running.

Thank you !!!
