Are there any snippets which I may have missed that allow me to use the system folder icon? Not the icon for an association, because folders don't have extensions, or I'd go that route.

I'm trying to click on an icon that is in the system tray. I'm sure there is API involved,which i'm sure will work. I Was wondering if there's any kind of code already in Visual Basic, that somehow puts them in an array of some sort. Especially with how sometimes windows will only show active icons. Would be a pain to have to click the arrows to show all icons and then find the icon. Which if it's API, would have to be x/y coordinates.Definitely would be different every time.

how to create a contextmenu for system tray icon vb? Where can I find an example of it? I am building a service with a system tray icon to start pause and stop it however I don't seem to be able to display the contextmenu on click event. Do I need a form for the context menu?
View 1 Replieshow to create the contextmenu near the system tray icon that i've created? the current contextmenu will always "run" to certain position. How to do that? especially the second parameter of the following:
Me.contextMenu1 = New System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu
Me.menuItem1 = New System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem
Me.menuItem2 = New System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem
Initialize contextMenu1
[Code]...
Me.contextMenu1.Show(Button1, New Point(0, 0)) .NET not allow the control to be the notifyicon, so i added a button.hOW to make sure that the contextmenu always firm on one position , ie, at the system tray icon that i've created. Once i click on the icon, it will show this contextmenu.
I have a application which is written in background worker. Inside the background worker i am creating the multiple threads . The application has one notify icon.

I am trying to create an icon in the system tray as status for num-lock, caps-lock, and scroll-lock, because my keyboard that came with my computer does not have status lights on the keyboard, and only on the system tray.
The program however that came with it, does not like to work when I have some games open and stuff, it works usually in IE, and most other programs, but some programs just seem to interfere with it.
I have made a new program on a 1 mili-second timer for the 3 and it seems to work just fine in the application, I was wondering now if I could move that over to the system tray and make it look like the one that came with computer, it has 3 different icons, and the icon changes for on/off and has a tooltip status change on mouse-over showing status of on/off.
To hide my application, I want to place the my Application Icon in the System tray & not onthe Task bar ... but I have both with the following codes:
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
NotifyIcon1.Visible = False
How do I can put a text (shift the icon image) on notification icon alredy put it on system tray (near clock place) using Visual Basic 2010?
