This example shows a very simple very well documented sourcecode on how to create a systray application without the overhead of a class file filled with bugs using two simple WinAPI calls and three functions to further simplify those!
I've seen several examples at VBC in VB on how to setup a systray application using a class file. I tried using that at first, but ran into the bug of NOT closing when my mouse moved away. Now I'm seeing fixes to the class file.
This example shows that using the WinAPI's is easier cleaner and not as buggy as the Class File counterpart available at VBC
