 VB5, How to put text in the systemtray (like the time)

Hello,

I know how to put an icon in the systemtray but I would like to put text,
like the time in Win 95 in the systemtray, for example the date or a
stockrate.

How do I do that ?

I appreciate any suggestions,

Emile

To the best of my knowledge, you can only put valid icon files into the
SysTray.  So you either have to have one icon file for each line of text you
desire and change it where appropriate, or you have to put an icon in the
SysTray and change the Tool Tip text when you desire, forcing users to put
their mouse pointer over the icon to see the text.
