Shell NotifyIcon

From Delphi

[edit] Description

Applications can use the Windows taskbar notification area to display an icon for various purposes, often as a replacement for the usual minimized button on the taskbar.

The functionality is simpler than most people realize, involving:

• adding/removing the icon in the taskbar notification area
• showing a pop-up ToolTip
• showing a pop-up balloon ToolTip
• changing the icon used to display in the taskbar notification area
• notifying the application when the icon or the balloon ToolTip is clicked on.

All other functionality, including showing/hiding the application and pop-up menus, are handled by the application itself.
