    Systray

    im a VB person but i want top learn to program windows in C++. I know c and c++ how to program object oriented programs and understand classes etc. However, the amount of code and structure required just to draw one bloody window i find a bit daunting. Can anyone help me understand what it all means?

    Other wise i would like to know how to go about adding a system tray icon and make it show a menu when clicked. I have done this proficiently in VB and most of my VB applications include some kind of systray icon.

    It's only the window creating code that's long. After you have done this, it's all matter of using different functions and structures to do whatever you want.

    Even more so once you knew what it meant

    And once or twice more while he's trying to understand it.
