Mimicking system tray
-
I'm trying to write a plugin for a freeware taskbar replacement application, which would duplicate the functionality of the system tray. i.e. I need to know whenever icons are added/updated/removed from the system tray, and ideally whenever tool-tips appear. I've snooped around here and MSDN a bit and can't find anything related to how to do this. Closest thing I've found is http://www.codeproject.com/shell/ctrayiconposition.asp, but it's of no help. I am guessing some sort of system hook is what I will need to resort to, but I'm not quite sure if that is the case. Does anybody have any experience with this? Thanks, D

Paul Diliscia did an article on bands in 1997 or their about. Search for MSDN Journal "C++ Under the Hood", please correct me if I am wrong. I believe that article made a taskbar replacement. "Naked we come and bruised we go." - James Douglas Morrison Best Wishes, ez_way

Well, I tried searching for lots of things. I searched for "C++ Under the Hood", "Paul DiLascia", "Paul DiLascia taskbar", "taskbar", and "taskbar replace", as well as all the other searches I have tried in recent days, but have come up empty handed. Any other info you can give me to help me find it? Thanks

You bet, I should have done this first. http://www.dilascia.com/ "Naked we come and bruised we go." - James Douglas Morrison Best Wishes, ez_way
