What are the options of using the System Tray in a GUI for .NET application?
What do you want to use it for? There are components for everything :-) NotifyIcons, BalloonTips, ...

Where do I find that information? These are not Infragistics controls are they? Or .NET controls?
In this case I want to use it to inform that the user is monitoring messages in his session. When they click the icon in the tray they can switch it off and/or change what messages they are monitoring.
No Infragistics controls, just window controls (System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon, ...)
Great examples can be found on Mike's website :
It's been a while since I looked at the code, so I don't know if the System Tray is included

I think Peter is looking for the NotifyIcon component.
That should be in my slides.
The reference is on MSDN.

Not sure. I am already using Infragistic's WinDesktopAlert for notifications.
What I am looking for is how to provide an icon in the system tray to change the settings.
You are looking for the NotifyIcon.
Thanks Mike that works!

OK so I have the NotifyIcon and the balloon working for a while now.
What I cannot figure out is how to associate a popup menu with the NotifyIcon.
If I add an UltraToolbarsManager then a ContextMenuUltra property is added to the NotifyIcon but how do I get it populated?
Or the ContextMenuStrip property?
