Tutorial: How to work with the System Tray from .Net
After I released the System Tray tile for the Sidebar, I’ve had quite a lot of PMs and emails regarding interacting with the tray from .Net. So I’ve written this short tutorial for you all to go through to help with any difficulties you might have been having. It’s written with C# source code.

For anyone who has dabbled in the alternative shell world, with a this should also allow you to create an application which acts as the system tray itself, without explorer running.

Why not use Shell_NotifyIcon()

nice job but win32 already has a function that does almost all the dirty work for you..

Shell_NotifyIcon doesn’t do anything this tutorial is about. It doesn’t give you information about current SysTray icons.
