Before you begin:

This code relies on extended BINDEVENT() functionality added in VFP9.

The TaskbarStatus object adds an icon to the systray and receives notifications on mouse events occurring in the bounding rectangle of the icon, and on balloon events (displayed, clicked, timeout).

My comment:

The NOTIFYICONDATA structure is simplified here, considering the (_WIN32_IE < 0x0500) condition. MSDN Library contains complete description of this structure

* * *
This code sample calls LoadImage or ExtractAssociatedIcon to obtain HICON values. The other possible ways of loading icons can be implemented through calls to SHGetStockIconInfo, SHGetFileInfo, ExtractIcon and GetIconInfo.

* * *
Microsoft .NET Framework conveniently includes NotifyIcon control that is to be simply dropped on Windows form.
