Hi all,

I too have been looking into Shell_NotifyIcon, etc. and was surprised not to
see any sort of wrapper available for Eu.  (In addition to tray42.c, I
stumbled upon ntray ~ see http://indigo.ie/~pjn ~ an MFC wrapper class that
seems robust).  This got me thinking, am I out on a limb here using Euphoria
for a "tool" window service considering the overhead of the interpreter...?
Can't be any worse than using MFC, right?  But seriously, how would I go
about limiting the memory usage and task priority of such an Eu app -- is
this something that should be left to C?

Best Regards,
Wes

Hi everyone,

I've been playing around with Euphoria for a while now, and have a
few Win32 projects underway, using David Cuny's win32lib.

My experience of Windows programming is limited, however I have begun
to look at Bernard Ryan's WIN32API.EW library as well.

My question is regarding the use of the Shell_NotifyIcon function
and the UWM_SYSTRAY Windows constant.  This constant is not defined
in the WIN32API.EW file, and the Borland Win32 help file does not seem
to have it either.  The C example I was working from is attached.
(See attached file: tray42.C)
Is this the correct method for integrating with the System Tray, and if
so, what is the correct value of UWM_SYSTRAY?

All help is greatly appreciated, and hopefully I should have some
small applications ready soon.

Regards,

Dave
