Nope. It's either there or it's not. However what you could do is
replace it with a completely transparent icon when the form is hidden.

2.System tray icon does not always show when starting app when Windows starts

I am using VS2005 (vb) and I have a program that starts when Windows boots 
up.  Occasionally the icon that should appear in the system tray does not 
show up.  The program is still running in memory but the tray icon is not 
there.  If I start the program after Windows has booted up the icon shows 
every time.  I am assuming that the reason is due to the icon being created 
before the system tray is loaded/running.   I have used a timer with "dim 
notifyicon1 as new notifyicon" every few seconds and that works but I am 
afraid I am eating up memory doing that or is that "ok" to do?

Is there any way to detect if the system tray is not running so I can delay 
the creation of the tray icon until it is?

4.Prevent tray icon from hiding automatically in XP?

Hello,

    I've added a standard icon to the system tray using Shell_NotifyIcon() 
function but after several minutes Windows XP automatically hides it. This 
seems like normal behavior for some programs, but for others they stay 
visible all the time (ex. AIM, ZoneAlarm). How can I have my icon stay 
visible all the time?

    I've tried removing it and adding it again but it adds in the hidden 
state.

Thanks!

5.Maximize/Show App when icon is clicked in tray

I am using the code to show my app when the app icon is double-clicked in 
the icon tray.

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, 
Y As Single)
Dim Result, Action As Long
 If Me.ScaleMode = vbPixels Then
  Action = X
 Else
  Action = X / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
 End If
 Select Case Action
  Case WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK 'Left Button Double Click
   Me.WindowState = vbNormal 'show app
   Result = SetForegroundWindow(Me.hwnd)
 Case WM_RBUTTONUP 'Right Button Up
   Result = SetForegroundWindow(Me.hwnd)
   PopupMenu mnu_1 'show popup menu
 End Select
End Sub


 The strange thing is this code works perfectly in one app but doesn't work 
in another. When I double-click or right click icon of the "unworking" app 
in the icon tray form mouse move even does not fire. Anyone have an idea, 
been battling this problem for more than 2 days... can't figure it 
out....Please help!!!!
