System Tray Icon Menu won't dismiss

Author	Message
nobod #1 / 5	System Tray Icon Menu won't dismiss I've been trying various system tray icon controls/solutions that use the shell_notifyicon API, and have found that the right-click menu is slow to disappear (and may not disappear at all) when the user clicks outside of the menu to "dismiss" it (i.e., they don't choose an option off the menu, they just want to get rid of it). Other apps in the tray (e.g., McAfee) do not exhibit this problem. Has anyone encountered this, and if so, any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks much,

Raistli #2 / 5	System Tray Icon Menu won't dismiss Hi, this is only a bug-work-around, but the only thing I can think of: add a menu 'Cancel', which does exactly nothing. When the user selects it, the menu dismisses. Not very nice, but as I said: it works...

If I recall correctly, this is what you have to do to work around this issue: SetForegroundWindow Me.hWnd PopupMenu mnuWhatever SendMessage Me.hWnd, WM_NULL, 0, 0 Hope this helps. -- http://www.scottandmichelle.net/scott/code/ Sample code and utilities.

Scott Shere #5 / 5	System Tray Icon Menu won't dismiss Set the menu yourself by using the CreateMenu Api. Set the menu to the system trays main window. When the user right clicks on your icon, call the TrackPopUpMenuEx API (or something like that) to wait for the response. This always works.
