Handling Notify Icon Events

As mentioned above, you can handle events for notify icons, such as Click and DoubleClick. In the NotifyIcons example on the CD-ROM, I handle the DoubleClick event by displaying a message box, like this:

Private Sub NotifyIcon1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon1.DoubleClick
    MsgBox("You double-clicked the icon!")
End Sub

Being able to handle notify icon events lets you display control panels or bring background processes to the front as needed, which is very useful.
