 |
|
Hello, I need to make a Windows service, I mean a program that runs in background with an icon on the rigth botton corner of the screen. How can I do that?, I already have the application that runs like a normal Windows app and want to migrate it to a service. |

There is a "Service Application" option available in the IDE's 'File | New'
dialog.

What you are referring to is called the System Tray. It is not a simple
task to have a service display a System Tray icon. Depending on how you set
up your service, the System Tray may not even exist while the service is
running, or it may not be accessible to the service. The best way to have a
service display a System Tray icon is to write a separate non-service
application to handle the icon, and then have that application communicate
with the service when needed. You can then have that application running
while the user is logged in (the System Tray does not exist when no user is
logged in).
