Putting An Image In The System Tray?

Mar 11, 2009

I'm putting an image in the system tray.. and based on whats going on it will change..in vb6 I used to use image control and make an array out of it and just change the image on the index to make it animate..so in vs2005 whats the best way to do this now.. ?

I tried to use an image list but it could not convert the icons I put in as images to the image property of the notifyicon.. and I dont see a .toIcon method to convert it..then I read that you can make resources in the project itself.. but when I started on that it needs the actual name.. I dont see a way to use any index on that..so whats the best way to load up a set of icons that I can dynamically get access to via the index of this list ?

Putting An .ico Image On A Control

Aug 17, 2010

Is it possible to set an *.ico (icon) file as an image for a button ? I tried it but I saw I can only select *.jpg , *.bmp , *.gif files etc , but no icons . I am sure it's me who's stupid enough not to be able to do that , not Microsoft for removing this possibility which was available in VB6 , therefore , please tell me there is a way to do that !

Formless System Tray App?

Jun 23, 2010

I im trying to find out if it's possible (using VB.net 08 Xpress) to create an application running solely out of the system tray, no forms - Just the icon and popup notifications.I have been considering building a tray based monitoring system for some time, and while I can get the code to work fine, I still need the thing to start up silently. Using Me.Hide() on Form load doesn't work, and I really don't want to work around using the start-up form as a splash page.I have also looked at making a module, but standard vb.net code just aint doing the job.

Get All System Tray Icons?

Mar 22, 2010

I have a problem: I have got an application that is mainly control by a tray icon and I can't show the window unless I click the icon, but the client computer has set the system not to show the icons in the tray area. So can I write a small app to act like a hand-make system tray? That means I have to get all the icons in the tray area and be able to send the mouse events to the icons and let them response to their own program.

Balloon Tip In The System Tray Has Closed?

May 28, 2009

I have an application that uses a NotifyIcon in the tray to hide/restore the application, as well as pop up notices to the user of application events. My application has a notification queue, and I use the NotificationIcon.BalloonTipClosed event to determine when to reset the balloon and show the next notification (if there's one in the queue).

This method seems to work great in both usual causes (user lets the balloon close itself when it times out, and user clicks "X" in balloon to force it to close), but there's a third case where BalloonTipClosed doesn't get called:Notification balloon pops up While it's visible, user right-clicks on notification icon to bring up context menu, causing the balloon to disappear

The BalloonTipClosed event doesn't get triggered in this instance - I figure it's a bug in the framework (I'm using 2.0), but does anybody have an idea around this? If I don't get this event, my application always thinks there's a balloon visible (I have a boolean that prevents it from displaying multiple balloons at once), and it will never show another icon again, as long as it's running.

Click An Icon On The System Tray?

Oct 23, 2009

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.

Display Icons Of The System Tray?

Jan 29, 2007

create a program that enums icons of the tray bar that have been created calling the function ShellNotifyIcon. So my question is how do you do to enum the windows that have called this function and want to appear in the system tray, whit its icons, and display a menu when you click on them. because i want to do the same that explorer.exe does but whit my own program (shell). Is this a secret?

Display Text In System Tray?

Jul 3, 2009

I have looked on the net for demos of how to display a text message in the system tray, but all I can find are examples which say you need to use trayicons. Where you render your string into a bitmap, and then point the trayicon at the bitmap to display it.

Unfortunately this is no good for what I want to do, the trayicon is limited to only 16x16 pixels, and I want to display a longer message, which will just not fit. I can't resize the size of the icon, and if I make the source bitmap larger, it just gets scaled to fit within the 16x16 space (crushing it together into an awful mess)

So I tried using an array of trayicons and split the bitmap between them, but this also fails, because windows inserts about 3-4 pixels of padding between each tray icon.

List All System Tray Icons?

Mar 18, 2011

I need to list all icons in the system tray (compatibility is only necessary with Windows Vista) programatically using VB.NET. I've tried a ton of googling and forum searching but have discovered applicable code only in C++ or Delphi - I don't understand either well enough to interpret.

This open-source project [URL].. is an exceptional example of what I need to do but I can't figure out how to translate much more than the p/invoke signatures to vb.It's also worth noting that I don't need to control the icons (i.e. hide, destroy), just be able to populate a list of them with information such as their parent process, tooltip text, the actual icon, and it would be really great if it's possible to "see"
the tray's menu options too so they could be exposed through the vb program.

I'm not asking for anyone to write my code for me but a step in the right direction would be a great help. I'm a fast learner; just having problems getting myself headed down the right path here.

Extra NotifyIcon Shown In System Tray?

Jan 7, 2011

I'm having an issue with an app where my NotifyIcon displays an extra icon. The steps to reproduce it are easy, but the problem is that the extra icon shows up after any of the actual codebehind we've added fires. Put simply, clicking a button triggers execution of method FooBar() which runs all the way through fine but its primary duty is to fire a backgroundworker to log into another of our apps. It only appears if this particular button is clicked.Strangely enough, we have a WndProc method override and if I step through until the extra NotifyIcon appears, it always appears during this method so something else beyond the codebehind must be triggering the behavior. Our WndProc method is currently (although I don't think it's caused by the WndProc):

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
'Check for WM_COPYDATA message from other app or drag/drop action and handle message
If m.Msg = NativeMethods.WM_COPYDATA Then[code].....

what might be causing this or how to possibly further debug this?
