I have an application which puts an icon in the system tray, then hides
itself. Does anyone know how I can trap mouse actions when the pointer is
over the icon so I can bring the application's form up on a mouse click, or
display a title on mouse over?

Tia,

JJ.

There is a freeware set of Delphi Components call RX Library (available
on the Delphi Super Page or from thier website :
http://rx.unionjv.ru)that comes with complete source code.

In the array of components is a TrayIcon component..

In that class there is a couple of methods :

procedure TRxTrayIcon.Activate;

and

procedure TRxTrayIcon.UpdateNotifyData;

I believe the conjunction of those two methods contain the code that
gets the job done..

Hope that helps!
