Stephen, I forgot you're primarily a WPF aficionado. There is a WPF NotifyIcon article at CodeProject, which I saw and discounted (thinking you wanted something straight from the Windows API or .NET frameworks).

"Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) does not provide a notification icon implementation. However, the Microsoft .NET Framework does provide one: NotifyIcon, which is located in the System.Windows.Forms namespace. which this sample uses. This sample demonstrates how to configure and display a notification icon in the system tray using NotifyIcon." That helps. Now I know where to go looking for it... I'm not sure if that's what I found last time (it may well be) but I was sure it was either WPF or Win7, and hence "newer/fancier". There's also a few custom ones about, I've found since my post earlier. cheers, Stephen On Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 4:09 PM, Ian Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: > Oops - You can tell I don't do NotifyIcon popups at all! > > See > http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.notifyicon.aspx > > > The NotifyIcon Class is very complete.
