Download the source code for the Tray Icon Delphi component: TniTrayIcon10.zip - 2KB
System Requirements
Delphi Version: Any Win32 edition of Delphi; tested on versions 3, 4, 5 and 7.
While it's untested on Delphi 2, Delphi 6, and all versions of C++ Builder, I know of no reason why it won't work. Please let me know if you can confirm one way or the other.
Licensing
This component is freeware - use it or not, at your choice. Pass it along, or not, at your choice. The only restriction is that you distribute only the original file as downloaded.
Overview
This is (yet) another Delphi component which allows you to put an Icon on the taskbar.
I wrote this as an exercise in delving directly into the Windows API to accomplish something not provided as a neat wrapper by Delphi. With this under my belt, I've been able to make better headway understanding the implementation of some of the VCL, especially wrapper classes such as TCustomListView which make a standard windows control accessible.
The OOS Alarm application makes use of this component to hide itself out of the way.
