How can I set my application in the status area?

[Guest]

Dear all,

I've got a problem to set my application in the status area so that I can
receive application message while the window is minimized.
Just put my icon beside my input method in the right corner of windows.
Is it possible to do it with win32 api?
If so, which one shall I call?

Look forward to your reply and thanks in advance.

See Shell_NotifyIcon in the Windows SDK documentation.

Check the docs for Shell_NotifyIcon(). It can manipulate icons in the
"tray".

Also read this knowledge base article for information about some non-obvious
thing syou must do to display a context menu in response to a click on such
an icon:
