Let us look at a simple C# Windows Forms NotifyIcon example.
Example 1: NotifyIcon
This example will comprise the following files:
NotifyIcon.csResources.Designer.cs
Step 1: Create Project
- The first step is to create a C# Project.
- Go to
FILE-->New-->Projectto create a new project.
Step 2: Write Code
Write Code as follows:
*(a). NotifyIcon.cs
Create a file named NotifyIcon.cs
Here is the full code
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Examples {
class MainForm : Form {
public static void Main() {
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.Run(new MainForm());
}
public MainForm() {
Icon = Examples.Properties.Resources.Gammasoft;
Text = "NotifyIcon example";
label1.Parent = this;
label1.AutoSize = true;
label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(10, 10);
label1.Text = "Double click on Gammasoft tray iconnto show or hide this form.";
notifyIcon1.Icon = Examples.Properties.Resources.Gammasoft;
notifyIcon1.Text = "NotifyIcon example";
notifyIcon1.Visible = true;
notifyIcon1.DoubleClick += delegate {
Visible = !Visible;
};
}
private NotifyIcon notifyIcon1 = new NotifyIcon();
private Label label1 = new Label();
}
