[Trevor Benedict R]

Hi,
Does anybody have a workaround for this problem

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827043

What I am trying to achieve is to to display an Icon in the System Tray and
on the right click event, I want to display a Menu with Icons.

Thanks & Regards,

Trevor Benedict

I don't think this bug is present in .Net 2.0. You can consider using that.

Thanks Himangi. But that is not an option due to corporate IT policies
(funny).

Re: NotifyIcon - OwnderDraw Event Workaround needed

You've got to be quick as MS are phasing out GotDotNet (and in fact have
phased out most of it already), but Hans Blomme created a NotifyIcon XP
component to add baloon tips in 2003 and uploaded the source code. OwnerDraw
context menus work just fine with that component and it should satisfy your
IT policies since it includes full source code.

Other than that, you could always create an offscreen form and use
ContextMenu.Sho w(), as that will pass on the WM_MEASUREITEM and WM_DRAWITEM
messages.
