if you know how to add a systray icon, then all you have to do is to add a timer and in the timer event add some code to change the icon every 1 or 2 seconds, i did not do it before but i would do it like this.

i know how to put the icon on the systray, but if i put the code in a timer, it gets very weird. first it unloads the icon and then reloads it, this makes the systray, bigger and smaller continously. i hope u know what i mean.

there is this hexadecimal number you cvan put in flag and it updates the icon......

hope sumone here knows the number..........

got it
use this

Shell_NotifyIcon &H1, tTrayIcon

it will update the trayicon specified in the handle of tTrayIcon.hwnd with the one specified in tTrayIcon, thus achieving the effect like ICQ does
