How to display icon on windows notification area?

Raysefo

Hi,

I would like to build an application which checks database for a specific time interval. I want to display an icon for this app on notification area. If there is data, I would like to display it with a eye-catching way. Is there a way to do this?

Best Regards.

Yes, you can change the NotifyIcon's Icon property to a different icon at runtime.

Hi Vulpes,

Thanks for your reply. I wonder if there is a way to change the icon if there is data in my example.

Best Regards.

You'll need to use the NotifyIcon component for this.

Here's a few links to help you get started. You can. of course, use whatever icon you like:
