Subject: NotifyIcon for the Windows Taskbar and user interaction
Feedback Type: Question

Technical Area: User Interface

Hello,

i want to set my own NotifyIcon like the notes "new mail on server/domain"-Icon in the Taskbar.

I found a way over the "Shell_NotifyIcon" function. But how can i get a response from the user interaction?

Or known someone a better way?


The Script:

szInfoTitle As String * 64
dwInfoFlags As Long
uTimeout As Long
guidItem As GUID
End Type
Dim TIcon As NOTIFYICONDATA

Dim hwnd As Long
Const vbNull = 0&

Const NIM_ADD = &H0
Const NIM_MODIFY = &H1
Const NIM_DELETE = &H2
Const NIF_MESSAGE = &H1

Const NIF_ICON = &H2
Const NIF_TIP = &H4
Const NIF_STATE = &H8
Const NIF_INFO = &H10

Const NIF_NOICON = 0
Const NIF_INFOICON = 1
Const NIF_WARNINGICON = 2
Const NIF_ERRORICON = 3

Declare Function GetActiveWindow Lib "user32" () As Long

Sub Initialize
TIcon.cbSize = Len(TIcon)
hwnd = GetActiveWindow

TIcon.hwnd = hwnd
TIcon.uId = 1&
TIcon.uFlags = NIF_ICON Or NIF_MESSAGE Or NIF_TIP
TIcon.ucallbackMessage = WM_MOUSEMOVE
TIcon.hIcon = 5
TIcon.szTip = "Mail" & Chr$(0)

Call Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, TIcon)

End Sub

Sub Terminate
Shell_NotifyIcon NIM_DELETE, TIcon
End Sub

Function WindowProc(Byval hwnd As Long, Byval uMsg As Long, Byval wParam As Long, Byval lParam As Long) As Long
Print "WindowProc ("& hwnd &","& uMsg &","& wParam &","& lParam &")"
Call DefWindowProc(hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam)
End Function
