hi, im using this code to display a notifyicon object with information
provided at runtime

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)

        MyBase.WndProc(m)

        If m.Msg = WM_SYSCOMMAND Then

            Select Case m.WParam.ToInt32

                Case 1000

                    Dim tray As New NotifyIcon

                    tray.Icon = Icon.FromHandle(m.HWnd)
                    tray.Visible = True

                    AddHandler tray.DoubleClick, AddressOf
NotifyIcon1_DoubleClick

                    SendMessage(m.HWnd.ToInt32, 0, Nothing, Nothing)

            End Select

        End If

    End Sub

what i am attempting to do is recreate a project i saw on CodeProject where
you add a menu "Tray Me" to the System menu and when a user clicks on it, the
window is hidden and an icon is displayed, yet this doesnt work....any help
would be great, thanks

You might want to try declaring tray as NotifyIcon in the form
declarations, rather than as a local variable.

attempting to create a program that will be able to put any application in
the system tray....so i need to make a NotifyIcon at run time......any
suggestions would be great, thanks

place a notify icon on your form and set visible as you want.
