Here's the data structure for the NotifyIconData block, contributed by staff at http://www.softswift.com
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct NotifyIconData
{
public System.Int32 cbSize; // DWORD
public System.IntPtr hWnd; // HWND
public System.Int32 uID; // UINT
public NotifyFlags uFlags; // UINT
public System.Int32 uCallbackMessage; // UINT
public System.IntPtr hIcon; // HICON
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst=128)]
public System.String szTip; // char[128]
public System.Int32 dwState; // DWORD
public System.Int32 dwStateMask; // DWORD
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst=256)]
public System.String szInfo; // char[256]
public System.Int32 uTimeoutOrVersion; // UINT
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst=64)]
public System.String szInfoTitle; // char[64]
public System.Int32 dwInfoFlags; // DWORD
//GUID guidItem; > IE 6
}
And then we noticed that the data structure is already provided elsewhere on this site but without a reference so here's the reference http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/Structures.NOTIFYICONDATA
public enum NotifyIconMessage : int
{
NIM_ADD = 0x00000000,
NIM_MODIFY = 0x00000001,
NIM_DELETE = 0x00000002,
NIM_SETFOCUS = 0x00000003,
NIM_SETVERSION = 0x00000004,
}
Notes:
Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise. If dwMessage is set to NIM_SETVERSION, the function returns TRUE if the version was successfully changed, or FALSE if the requested version is not supported
