[bentumkoitaba]

I happened to come across this code that can place an icon on the System tray. My main worry was, is t realy possible to add a menus? How?

Private Const NIM_DELETE = 2
Private Const NIF_MESSAGE = 1
Private Const NIF_ICON = 2
Private Const NIF_TIP = 4

Private Declare Function Shell_NotifyIconA Lib "SHELL32" _
(ByVal dwMessage As Long, lpData As NOTIFYICONDATA) As Integer
'TO ADD THE ICON:
Private Sub mnuadd_Click()
' This will add the frmtray icon to the system tray

Dim retVal As Integer
Dim nid As NOTIFYICONDATA

' This creates our NotifyIconData variable
nid = setNOTIFYICONDATA( _
frmTray.hWnd, vbNull, _
NIF_MESSAGE Or NIF_ICON Or NIF_TIP, _
vbNull, frmTray.Icon, txtTip)

' Now we call our API with this variable
retVal = Shell_NotifyIconA(NIM_ADD, nid)
MDIMain.Visible = False
Me.Visible = False
End Sub

'I also used this code to delete the icon

Private Sub mnudelete_Click()
' This will delete an existing tray icon
Dim retVal As Integer
Dim nid As NOTIFYICONDATA

nid = setNOTIFYICONDATA( _
frmTray.hWnd, vbNull, _
NIF_MESSAGE Or NIF_ICON Or NIF_TIP, _
vbNull, frmTray.Icon, txtTip)

retVal = Shell_NotifyIconA(NIM_DELETE, nid)
End Sub

'The tooltip text was taken care by a text box on the form and the code for changing the icon was

Private Sub mnumodify_Click()
' This will modify an existing tray icon
Dim retVal As Integer
Dim nid As NOTIFYICONDATA

nid = setNOTIFYICONDATA( _
frmTray.hWnd, vbNull, _
NIF_MESSAGE Or NIF_ICON Or NIF_TIP, _
vbNull, frmTray.Icon, txtTip)

retVal = Shell_NotifyIconA(NIM_MODIFY, nid)
End Sub
