Title: Easy tray application
Post by: pcurtis on October 16, 2021, 05:03:44 pm

I've been playing with tray application on W10, and decided to make a component to make it easier.

It runs on W10 but the source is included.

Install the component (misc tab) drop it on a form and away you go.

Thank you for sharing.
I don't use Windows, but I bookmarked it. I'm sure I will use it someday.

Thanks for that.
How about a few words about why we would use your new component instead of the standard one supplied with Lazarus ?  It might be worthwhile mentioning your package on the Lazarus Tray Icon wiki page.

As a linux user, and author of an app that is heavily dependent on the TrayIcon, it annoy me no end that the Lazarus trayicon is becoming a real problem on Linux (thanks to Gnome and Wayland) but works flawlessly on Windows and Mac ??
