Title: Restore tray icon on explorer.exe restart.
Post by Maxim_Korobov on Dec 29^th, 2008, 7:18am

Sometimes i kill explorer.exe process and run it again.
After that there is no icon in tray bar, but process MIDI-OX works fine.

Can MIDI-OX detect explorer.exe crash and estore tray icon on explorer.exe restart?

What happens if you minimize and restore MIDI-OX? Does the icon come back?

I rarely use MIDI-OX with opened window, most of time it minimized. When it minimized and explorer restarted after crash, no more OX icon in the tray.

I see. Well, I will look into it. In the meantime you should be able to find it running in Task Manager.

When Explorer restarts, it notifies all top-level parent windows by
broadcasting a registered message - TaskbarCreated. Your application
should listen for this message and when it receives it, should re-create
your tray icon.
