Showing animated images in system tray!

Hi,

I facing a small problem, would be great if someone could help. I need to show an animated gif for my application (C#) when its in the system tray. NotifyIcon takes only .ico files. How can I make this possible. Please do provide the code in C# if any.

Thanks & REgards,
Frenz

    Hi Frenz,

    There is no direct way you can do that, how ever the best way you can do that is put your icons in image list and in a timer interval loop through the icons.

    Hope this help

    There is a way to extend the NotifyIcon object. This is possible by making a new coustem controle. create new property in this new controle which could hold a .gif .

    go to the following link if you are new to coustem controles:

    Have fun!
