Systray icons

[byteit101]

I am working on a program that is an explorer.exe like program, right now, I am working on the system tray icons. I have looked many places, but have not seem to have found an answer. All I need is the GDI Bitmap, for I am going to pass it to a C# application. Is this even possible?

I'm not sure if I understood you well, could you please rephrase your question or give us some simple example of what are you trying to do?

I am making a taskbar/system tray application in C#, and need the GDI Bitmap for each of the system tray icons.

I believe that the system tray uses icons rather than bitmaps, well the WIN32 API did anyway.

Just draw them and add them as resources to your program.

You are misunderstandin g what I want to do, I want to get the Icons from the system tray, and create my own system tray. I already know how to make one appear, I want to get them.

You might want to check code of this sample program then ^^

,kind regards.

NOTE:As you will probably see code is written in C++,but you should be able to use it in .NET projects by using PInvoke.

Ah! Perfect!
I am planning to write a Native and C++/CLI mixed dll, then referencing it in C#

This code is wrong.
You must never hard code windows class names (!)
(different for each OS and SP)
And the method is also very bad (you must do explorer code injection..)
