It's not app dependent and no-one seems to know quite why it happens and Microsoft never fixed it. Some systems suffer, on others it never happens. It doesn't happen on my laptop but it occurred every couple of months on my main system (now on Vista).

Keep that little app - you may need it again in a month or so!

Hi all,

The old NotifyIcon.DLL for PPC does not work for apps compiled by B4PPC version 5.80 and above. This is because the icon name inside the .EXE has changed from "#32512" (default resource name) to "B4PICON".

The new attached NotifyIcon.DLL targets by default to version 5.80 and above (at least until the icon name remains the same).

But setting it's newly added property Version580andAbove = False will work fine for previous versions also.

No problem and therefore no new version for NotifyIconDesktop.DLL

This issue pointed by alfcen here http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/showt...=6437#post6437

Thank you Robert!

Hi,

Attached in the zip is the new NotifyIcon compatible with Basic4PPC v6.0.

A new property added: Version6andAbove.
Set it to True (default) to work with v6.0

Has anyone else had an issue where no Icon appears on the Today Screen Toolbar?

I have written my own code using this Library, but no Icon appeared. So I downloaded the "Test3" sample, compiled it (non optimized), etc....still no Icon.

I have the Form Library, NotifyIcon Library and the ni.ico all in the same directory as the ".exe" file. I have the latest version of the NotifyIcon Library. I am running B4P 6.05 / WM5 on a Dell Axim X51v.

On the Desktop, the Icon appears in the SysTray and if clicked triggers the ni_click procedure fine. But nothing works on the Device.

Obviously, I'm missing something. Any Ideas?

Hi Burd,
It works well on an iPAQ hx210 WM6.0 with this code.
To rule out all odds, please make sure that you have
assigned a 256 color icon in File/Chose Icon:

For the device you won't even need the Formlib.dll

On a bad note, this does not show the icon in the tray
of an iPAQ h2100 running PPC 2003. If you tap on the
place in the tray where it is supposed to be then the
program comes up again, though.

Sub App_Start
  ni.New1
  ni.Version580andAbove = true 'del for optimized compiler
  ni.Add
End Sub

Sub ni_Click
  frmMain.Show
End Sub

Thanks Alfcen for your reply.

In essence your code is the same as mine. What I have discovered is that if I "Optimize Compile" it, it works fine and the Icon appears. If I compile it "standard" it doesn't appear, nor does the program fire up when you "click" the spot where the icon should have been.

I am running B4P 6.05 on the device, so I have tried the "ni.Version6andAbove = True", but it makes no difference to the above findings. (Which I would suspect as "True" is the default value.)

So now if I optimize compile it, then all is fine. But the little problem that I have at the moment, is that the application that I wanted to use the "ni" on, also uses the Calendar control, which for the time being is not compatible at all with Optimized Compile. (Although, I do believe that Erel may be working on that one for a future release. I wait in hope!) : )

Thanks again.

Run test3.exe, press "Show Icon", then the cross upper right.

You will see the icon in Notification Area (as in pic1)

Click the icon...

I'm running sample Test3.Exe and error :

"error CS1501: aucune surcharge pour la méthode 'GetControlStringOrRef' ne prends pas d'argument '0'
line number 6
line ni.New1

???? my version 4PPC is 6.30
thanks
