Hi all, I''ve learned recently how to "send" my application to the system tray (not the taskbar), and what i wanted to do next is to be able to show a small dialog when the user presses the right-mouse-button on the systray ico, without using mfc code. Where can i find an example of this? thanx...!

You need something like this in your message handler:

  
if (msg == nid.uCallbackMessage)
	{
		switch(lparam)
		{
		case WM_RBUTTONUP: //Did the user right click?

			{
                        // pop up your dialog box here

			}break;
                // handle any other messages here

                }
        }

Where msg is the message and nid is your notify icon data structure. When you init your nid, you need to set nid.uCallbackMessage to WM_USER + SomeNumber. Windows will send you this message when some action happens on your systray icon.

Hope this helps!
