NotifyIcon notifyIcon = new NotifyIcon(bpcomponents); // The Icon property sets the icon that will appear // in the systray for this application. string iconPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + @"setup-icon.ico"; notifyIcon.Icon = new Icon(iconPath); // The ContextMenu property sets the menu that will // appear when the systray icon is right clicked. notifyIcon.ContextMenu = contextMenu1; notifyIcon.Visible = true; // The Text property sets the text that will be displayed, // in a tooltip, when the mouse hovers over the systray icon. notifyIcon.Text = "Morgan Tech Space BallonTip Running..."; notifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "Morgan Tech Space BallonTip Running..."; notifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = "Morgan Tech Space"; notifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(1000); } void exitMenu_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.Close(); } void runMenu_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("Morgan Tech Space BallonTip is Running...."); } } }
