- SUMMARY
-
- This demo is a tray-icon application. By
- double-clicking the tray-icon the main mouse
- buttons swap. Easy if left-handed and right-handed
- need to work on the same machine. The icon also
- has a popup-menu where swapping is option.
-
-
- USED "TRICKS"
-
- To hide the mainform set the WindowState to
- Minimized and the ShowInTaskbar property to False.
-
- To know when mouse buttons are being swapped use
- the Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents
-
- The code to create icons from bitmaps (in the demo
- stored in an ImageList) is actually a workaround
- because there is a .NET bug when saving a bitmap
- to an ImageFormat.Icon
