Tray Service

Sam Johnson edited this page Dec 29, 2020 · 5 revisions

The tray service provides notification area icon support.

There are a few objects involved with using the tray service:

  • NotificationArea provides the PinnedIcons and UnpinnedIcons collections, as well as service management and lifecycle methods.
  • TrayService provides the Windows hook functionality allowing applications to display notification icons using Shell_NotifyIcon.
  • ExplorerTrayService provides icons from the Windows Explorer notification area as a seed.
  • NotifyIcon objects represent each individual notification icon.
