But it's not just a case of creating the icon. You also need to set up a
hook for the mouse events (ok, so it's just a defined constant in the
WM_USER range), create a popup menu for the icon, handle the additional
WM_COMMAND and WM_USER events, ... I think the point Owen was trying to
make was that he wanted some sample code for a systray app that was easier
to understand than the assembler code of freenet.exe.
Granted, the API calls are always going to be the same irrespective of the
programming language - but you still need to code the WndProc - so you still
need to be able to understand the _structure_ of the WndProc
