I used .refresh() on labels and stuff but not working. How do I get the systray icon to get current date or keep refreshing itself? Once the program gets sent to the systray it starts a timer loop, mainly checking for matching dates. but as I said it appears to keep matching the date when it had when it went to the systray.

How do I get the program to keep refreshing the date when sent down to systray?
Is the timer being triggered when the app is minimized? How are you comparing dates?

If possible could you post the code that you suspect isn't behaving correctly.
