This is a simple example application of how to use icons in the Windows taskbar notification area. The code presented here is not an example of good coding practice, but is intended to demonstrate a concept. Error checking is left to the developer to implement. Putting an icon in the taskbar notification area does not automatically hide your application. You need to programmatically implement everything that you want your application to do. Showing/hiding the application is covered in other example applications and is not repeated in this one.
