On my first attempt to use the toolkit, I ran into a problem immediately.

I decided to use the CXTTrayIcon class. Upon attempting to use the animation support -- I found that I must submit the icon's by ID. ONLY.

In my world, I make branded versions of my software. All of my branded resources live in a dll.

I guess, I just want to say -- please don't write API's that always assume "this module" as the resource source....

Or provide a way to override such things without updating the source.... or... something easy.

Thanks

Hi,

Here method you need:

CXTTrayIcon::SetIcon(HICON hIcon)

So, like, how do I animate with a single HICON?

sorry, skipped "animation" word.

I see 2 solutions -

1. CXTTray load icons from hInstance = AfxGetResourceHandle(); so if you use your dll as primary resource call AfxSetResourceHandle(hYourDll); and CXTTray will load icons from dll.

2. make class derived from CXTTrayIcon and add icons to m_arTrayIcons collection. see sources.
