Dear sirs,

Is it possible to, (using C#) , minimize an Windows Mobile 5.0 application
to a system tray (in that area near battery icon ) ?

Or, I would like to minimize my application and put an icon anywhere on
Today Screen. Is it possible to do with C# ?

And, I would like to do that using C#.

Does anybody know same samples ?

I found no samples on MSDN, WM5 SDK, Google, etc...

Thanks in advance,

Sorry about my miserable english...

Best Regards,
Marcos Tito.

It's not "free". You can add an icon to the today screen (look up
Shell_NotifyIcon in the archives), and then hide your window, showing it
again if the user does something, like click on the icon. The necessary
calls, which would normally have to be P/Invoked, are wrapped in OpenNETCF
Smart Device Framework 1.x.

You can search the archives of just this group from this link:

Your English is not miserable.
