Hallo!

Ich moechte in einem Systemtray-Icon zweistellige Zahlen anzeigen lassen, je
nach Wert einer Variable. Das Update soll ca. 1 x alle 5 Minuten
stattfinden.
Es langt auch wenn nur die Zahl anstatt eines Icons dargestellt wird...

Geht sowas mit VB6 ???

Gruss Ove Starckjohann

ooops...sorry for my german text :-(
i must have been totally puzzled when posting :-(

what i wanted to ask is: is it possible to create a trayicon with two shown
digits in it. the digits are variable content..so they should be updated
(due to variable value) all five minutes.

is it possible in vb6 ?

Ove

Just a thought, if you got an icon (picture) in the tray, why dont
just redesign the picture/icon (dont know if it works) and if systray
is updated - yes, but to do it like the clock micht be a bit
of a hack... jut guessing.. havent placed anything in the tray.

There are many examples available showing how to put an icon
into the systray. Search in www.planetsource.com . There was
even an example how to have a complete VB form there, which
could contain buttons, labels, pictureboxes, and more. I
tried this under VB5/WinMe and it worked quite fine but had
some minor problems under XP when closing up so I didn't
continue using this code.

With VB6 & API you can do almost all - except making
Microsoft continue to support the best tool they ever wrote
:-( , seufz!
