    Posted: 13 May 2009 at 12:17pm
I am using the TrayIcon control with a development tool which uses VBScript to manipulate the properties on the panel.

Refering to the documentation for the TrayIcon control I see that the Icon property expects a "Picture" object. The code sample only demonstrates using the VB form's icon, but I want to set the icon as part of the application's configuration.

I have tried using the VBScript LoadPicture function but get a type mismatch error.

TrayIcon1.Icon = LoadPicture("C:\256.ico")

I also tried using the image manager control without success.
Set MyPicture = CaptionImageManager1.Icons.GetImage(1,16)

What type is the Icon property and how can I populate it on the fly from a file on disk?


thanks,

matt

Hi,
 
I tried the following options and they all work OK:
 
  1. TrayIcon1.Icon = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\Icons\Delete.ico")
  2. TrayIcon1.Icon = ImageManager.Icons.GetImage(1, 16).CreatePicture(xtpImageNormal)
  3. TrayIcon1.Icon = Me.Icon
  4. TrayIcon1.Icon = PictureBox.Picture
       
Hope this helps

Thanks Aaron,

I was not using the CreatePicture method.
This VBScript works fine.

TrayIcon1.Text = "Desyntime 2.0"
CaptionImageManager1.Icons.LoadIcon "C:\DesynTimeUpdated\DesynTime\256.ico", 1, 0
Set TrayIcon1.Icon = CaptionImageManager1.Icons.GetImage(1, 16).CreatePicture(xtpImageNormal)
TrayIcon1.MinimizeToTray AD.Field("WindowL<WindowHandle>")
TrayIcon1.ShowBalloonTip 2, "Desyntime is still running", "Click the icon to show the window again", 1
