What version of VB are you using? You should always mention this, but since
you crossposted to a dotnet newsgroup (even though it's not a valid
newsgroup), it's particularly relevant.

Assuming VB6 (or VB4 or VB5), you would use the Shell_NotifyIcon API
function. If you search the web or newsgroups (try doing this at
www.google.com), you should find many code examples. One word or warning, if
ANY of the examples you find use the WM_MOUSEMOVE hack, ignore that example.
You can easily tell if this hack is used by just looking at the code to see
if WM_MOUSEMOVE is assigned to the uCallbackMessage member of the
NOTIFYICONDATA structure. Look for example code that uses subclassing.

If you're using VB.NET, look up the NotifyIcon class of the .NET Framework.

Hi

I have an external application running in the background.
When it starts it adds an icon to the notification area (system tray).
The application monitors some things and show messages.
The icon will start to blink if there is a new messages, so the user
can double click the icon and the main window with the messages is
shown.
The problem is that this application runs on a production machine on
which all statusbars are made inaccessible to the user.

I thought of writing an application or script that pops up the
application when the use click on it, and place that on the desktop
I can use C#, VB/NET, VB6, VBscript,...

I already found that the process running in the background don't have a
window handle.

Anybody knows a way how to do this...
