Menubar

[Blade_360]

How do you add a menu to a system tray icon (i.e. when you right click it how do you add your own custom menubar?)

[Skywing]

When you call Shell_NotifyIcon, you can specify a "callback message" and an HWND for it to be sent to.  Here's where this comes in handy... the shell sends you the "callback message" when a user right-clicks your tray icon, double clicks it, and so on.  You should test the lParam value when you receive this message for WM_RBUTTONDOWN to determine if you should display a pop-up menu.  If you receive this message, call SetForegroundWindow(hwnd_passed_to_wndproc) and then use TrackPopupMenu to display your menu.

You can check for WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK if you want to perform an action when the user double-clicks your tray icon.

That's because you aren't familiar with how Windows actually deals with user interaction.
