    hi, im writing a program that basicly counts down to 0 from a user defined number of mins. once the prog reachs 0 it pops onto the screen and stays there untill the user clicks ok (a simple reminder/timer program).

    i have stuck the program into the system tray so that i can be clicked on and given focus to see how much time is remaining when there are other windows over the top of it.

    However i wanted to know if there is any way that i can have text in the system tray (ie all the time, not just when you mouse over it) so that you dont have to give the program the focus to check it. or do i just have to have mutiple icons and stick them in accordingly?

    Thanks in advance,
    Silverbug,

    have been left blank, and would otherwise have been left blank.

    I think you will have to stick to changing Icons.

    You may be able to do this by creating a label and setting it as a child of the system tray, for which you would need to get the handle of the tray. I dont know exactly how to do it, but i think this might be the way.
