Hi, I'm using an API based solution for the Tray Icon operation (one API function). No OCX's used. The source origins from an internet resource which I'm trying to track. Having seen a lot of search for such code in various mailing lists and newsgroups I fetched the necessary pieces of code from my application and compiled a sample called BeaTray.vbp. Including the compiled VB5 exe it is a zipped file about 20 Kb in size. If You would like the project file, please tell me. Kent Åsberg ---- When running my VB apps, I would prefer that they are not shown as a button on the windows taskbar but as an Icon on the winows taskbar Icon tray. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance for any help.
