Drag and Drop to Systemtray NotifyIcon ?

[Hans]

Hello,

I'm creating an application in C# that hides the form in the systemtray and
shows when i move the mouse over the NotifyIcon.

I want to drag files from explorer to the NotifyIcon (form shows) and drop
them on my form.

Except the systemtray doesn't allow the drag operation.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks,

Hans

I am afraid that is not possible.

Hello Josip,

Thanks for your quick response.

Is het posible to catch the event when i start a drag operation in explorer
and
when i'm near the NotifyIcon the form shows?

Can i lock my NotifyIcon in the systemtray at a specific position ?

I am not aware of that possibility.

The solution is "give up on what you want to do and come up with another
design." Tray icons simply don't support the functionality you're looking
for, and you'll just bang your head against a wall trying to make it happen.
