Display a small popup message in the system tray icon.

shobhit.ra · #1 29-Dec-2007, 05:17

Hello everyone.

I have a Client/Server application.
My client application is running in hidden mode in the startup. Only its icon is displaying in the system tray.

When server application that is running on other PC sends any message, then when I click on the icon of client application on my PC it displays the messages sent by server on the dialog.

Actually I have to display a small popup message "One message received" or something else over the icon in the system tray when server sends any message.

What should I do. Please suggest me. If anyone have done something for this then tell me.
I have to do this in MFC.

Shell_IconNotify, process Windows Messages. Here's a code guru example:

hi
thanks for the reply.
but I have already done this. My applications icon is displaying in the system tray.
The actual problem is that I have Client/server application. My appl. is Client.
Which icon is displaying in the system tray. when server appl. running on other PC send any message to my client application. then when I click on the Client icon it displays the Dialog with the messages sent by client.

But I have to display a small popup message over the Client appl. icon in the system tray without displaying the dialog when it receives any mesage from the server.

Please help me for this.
Reply me soon.
thanks

Something like this:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

NOTIFYICONDATA nid;
nid.cbSize = sizeof( NOTIFYICONDATA );
nid.hWnd = m_hWnd; // or whatever HWND you provided when you created it
nid.uID = ID_OF_TRAY_ICON // or whatever ID you provided when you created it
nid.uFlags = NIF_INFO;
nid.uTimeout = 1; // In milliseconds. Min value is 10 seconds, max is 30 seconds. If outside of range, it automatically takes closest limit
nid.dwInfoFlags = NIIF_INFO;
strcpy( nid.szInfo, "Your message here" );
strcpy( nid.szInfoTitle, "Title of message here" );

Shell_NotifyIcon( NIM_MODIFY, &nid );

Give it a shot, let me know how it went.
