Notify Icons anywhere on Desktop??

[Sriya]

Hi all,

I'm working in Visual C#. For my Applications main form, I've used a notification icon which is getting displayed on the task bar, every time the form loads.

But, instead of displaying the icon on the task bar (or the notifycation area...) can i get the display at the menu of my form which is at the top of the form??

Can I change the display location of the notifyIcon to whereever I want??

pls help me out solving this prob!!

Thank you all in advance,
Sriya

Well, no, you cannot. A 'notifyIcon' is something that belongs in the 'notification area'. But, whatever you do in your applications frame is pretty much up to you. You can add buttons and images (or animations) and make them respond to mouse-click or whatever. And you should be able to make it look just like a notify icon - execpt that it's located somewhere in your form.

can i get the display at the menu of my form which is at the top of the form??

A menu has its set of rules on how to behave, what to show and how to show it, but there is something called owner-drawn menus that you should look into.

Anyway, a status bar at the bottom of your form might be a better (or more standard) place to put such an icon.
