tary icon popup text
-
Hello! I found several examples on how to create applications that use tray icons. However, didn't find what I really need. How can I (if at all possible) enumerate all existing tray icons and read their popup (hint) text? That would be especially useful, e.g. if I have a probe application in tray that shows temperature or whatever on its popup text and I want to use that in my own application. Thanks in advance!

There's a better way to get the information you want... Stealing stuff from hint text is kinda tacky... IMHO.

Well, first of all -- I don't think the hint text is rendered until the mouse moves over the icon.... Do you want the temperatur? You should find out if you can programatically get the termperature from a website -- like weather underground -- they have xml weather feeds...
