Systemtray
-
is it possible to have a standalone system tray icon without an exe ? Typically an exe exposes a System tray icon . However my requirement is such that I would want to launch an app after the user selects an element from the system tray. Is this feasible ? For some of the icons (such as the LAN/Network status ) , I do not see a corresponding application in the taskbar. How are these implemented ?
Engineering is the effort !

No. If you wanted to do something like this you should make a small launcher application which manages the tray icon and launches the main application when needed.
