I an having a bit of trouble getting an ownerdrawn context menu ( such as Divil's widget control ) to pop up when the user right-clicks a notifyicon in the system tray...

I tried adding a notifyicon to Divil's widget example, however, it wouldn't show any menu text nor icons when right clicked...

BTW, for those of you that may be new to Extreme .NET Forums, Divil ingeniusly created several tools that help VB.NET developers create better professional OOP's:

Check'em out:
Divil's .NET Tools
 
I can only guess that Windows doesn't support ownerdrawing of context menus displayed in this way.
 
D@mn!....

After much research, I am in agreement with you :(

owell, then it's normal menu on notifyicon and Divil menu on everything else >-)

I have MS Office installed ( word xp in particular ) and everytime I copy something, it gets added to the office clipboard...

Any ways, if I right click on the office clipboard icon in the system tray then it brings up a menu with icons and appearance just like DotNetWidgets...

Now I'm convinced theres a way... only thing is, how do we achieve it?
