The solution attached to this post allows for basic system tray functionality. You can create your systray icon (and change it on the fly) from a form icon or by loading/drawing an image on a 32x32 pixel picturebox. There is easy support for a popup menu, as well as showing standard balloon tips. That's all there is to basic systray icons.
If that's all you need, the attached demo project is for you. No dlls or ocxs; it's all pure native VB6, meaning fewer headaches for the developer. The logic is contained in a class, and is exposed to the developer in a form.
On to the demo:
