Yes, I've changed my code to survive if the tray icon fails to create.

Hi,
 
Think problem can be in "Emerge Desktop" he use. Think you return from Init Function if Create return False. guess you can ignore it instead.
 

    if (!m_TrayIcon.Create(
        _T("My Program"), // Toolktip text
        this,                       // Parent window
        IDI_ICONTRAY,               // Icon resource ID
        IDR_MAIN_POPUP,             // Resource ID of popup menu
        IDR_RESTORE,                // Default menu item for popup menu
        false))                     // True if default menu item is located by position
    {
   // Pity but don't return from function/
    }

And that brings up another question - is there a way to check whether the tray icon has been created? It doesn't appear to have m_hWnd or anything like that, so I'm not sure what to check.

Thanks!

The resources should be fine, because it works for 99.9% of users :)

I have some more information from the user, I'll just quote him below:

"My StartKiller is a free utility that I got here: http://www.tordex.com/startkiller/ - I use the 32bit edition
The other tweak that I use is Emerge Desktop (http://emergedesktop.org/). This is a replacement windows shell. I implemented this to remove the task bar altogether.
I navigate my system with a tool called Launchy and some Auto Hot Key (AHK) scripts."

Usually, when Create() fails it's due to a faulty doctemplate-string. Perhaps the resource is damaged?
 
Just a guess!

No, they're using 12.1.1 for sure. I did find out one interesting thing - at least one of them somehow (third-party or whatever, I don't know yet fully) modified their Start menu and taskbar. Maybe that's the reason. The only potential problem in the Create method is the creation of the window, but I am also surprised why that would crash. I'm still investigating this with a user and hopefully I'll be able to recreate his modified environment and get that crash.]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2009 05:33:58 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13368&PID=45258&title=cxttrayicon-crashes-on-creation#45258 <![CDATA[CXTTrayIcon crashes on creation : Hi, I don&#039;t see something...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13368&PID=45252&title=cxttrayicon-crashes-on-creation#45252 Author: Oleg

Hi,

I don't see something in Create method that can crash :(   There was problem with some old 10.x release it was fixed - maybe these users use your old application ?

Yes, sorry - I've updated the signature, but it appears that existing messages are not updated with it.

It's MFC 12.1.1 compiled as a static link using VS2005.
