Getting Icon Name from notifyIcon1

[cbmdk]

Hi there, I'm in a bad situation I think. I have to do something according to what icon has been set in my notifyicon1. this is the way I have added the icon to the notifyIcon. notifyIcon1.Icon = new Icon(GetType(),"red.ico"); I have to fire an event only when the icon is different from red.ico, How can i do this? :confused::confused::confused: The solution might be simple, but I just can't figure it out looking forward to your response. regards Christian

The icon should only be used to show the user a status of an internal variable, not as a method of passing data from one part of your program to another. If the icon is red, it's because something else in your application set it that way. A better solution would be to set up a property in your app that sets a value that can be used elsewhere in your app and at the same time changes the icon to reflect the value of that property.

Store another variable elsewhere which tells you which icon is selected. This will also protect you against changes to the icon name, how it's stored, etc. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
