I have a mystery... Where does the right-click event on the system tray icon get handled? I can't find it. What if I want to detect a click event or mouse hover event on the icon in order to display the context menu? Is this possible?
Great Book. Thank You

See steps 6 and 7 on page 369.

I see how steps 6 and 7 on page 369 address the MenuItem_Click event, but what about how right-clicking the icon in the system tray gets handled? How does the menu get raised in the first place?
Thanks, Nat

Nat,

My mistake, I thought you did not understand where the steps were.

When you set the ContextMenu property for the NotifyIcon control, the control automatically setups the code internally to the control to respond to a right mouse click.

I hope this answers your question.

Thank you. Wow. I did not expect to hear from the author. And so fast. It seems the handling of this event is not modifiable. I was just curious.

Nat,

You can modify the handling of this event by overriding it in code. Add an event handler by selecting icnNotify in the Class Name combo box at the top left of the Code Editor and select the MouseClick event in the Method Name combo box. Then add your code in the event handler.
