Here is a code snippet of what I am doing:
NotifyIcon nti = new NotifyIcon();
nti.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(MainApp.Properties.Resources.services));
nti.Visible = true;
// Here is the requested change.
nti.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(MainApp.Properties.Resources.servicestopped));

Hi OmegaMan,
I set the interval of the timer to 1 sec, and use the following code to swap the icon image.
private void timer1_tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (interchange == true) { this.appNotifyIcon.Icon = new Icon("app1.ico"); interchange = false; } else { this.appNotifyIcon.Icon = new Icon("app2.ico"); interchange = true; } } |
but it works fine here, i can't reproduce the problem. I tend to consider that it's the responsibility of the system tray instead of your app. btw, do you have this situation everytime?
I have noticed similar problems with other applications, when they don't catch an excpetion and their tray icon stays alive after the programs dies. Subsequently restaring the app has a double icon momentarily.
This icon isn't one that flashes, it is meant to convey state and only changes infrequently. And yes it does happen frequently and is easily reproducable.
I will have to investigate further, by creating a console application and testing different scenarios. I will post any findings or results.
Thanks!
