Thread: right click on an icon in systray

Do want to programmatically simulate a right click in the systray?

What exactly are you trying to do?

Just happened to have this example around...

Code:

#include <windows.h> 


LRESULT CALLBACK MainProc (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM); 

static TCHAR szClass[ ]   = TEXT( "SystemTrayApp" ); 
static TCHAR szCaption[ ] = TEXT( "System Tray - Dante Shamest" ) ; 

static const int TRAYICON_ID    = 2410 ; 
static const int WM_TRAYICONMSG = WM_USER + 2 ; 

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hThisInstance, 
                    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, 
                    LPSTR lpszArgument, 
                    int nFunsterStil)

    MSG messages;

    wincl.hbrBackground = GetSysColorBrush( COLOR_3DFACE ) ; 

    if (!RegisterClassEx (&wincl)) 
        return 0; 

    hwnd = CreateWindowEx (
