Working with the Status Area

Applications use the Shell_NotifyIcon function to put icons in the status area of the taskbar to serve as status indicators. You should allow the user to obtain additional information by moving the mouse over the icon, clicking the icon, clicking the icon with the right mouse button, and double-clicking the icon. The system notifies you of this mouse movement. The information the user can receive can be summarized as follows:

• When the user moves the mouse over the icon, the system will display the ToolTip that you provided when you added the icon.

• When the user clicks the icon, your application should display a window with additional information.

• When the user clicks the icon with the right mouse button, your application should display the shortcut menu.

• When the user double-clicks the icon, your application should execute the default shortcut menu command.
