- wnosTray is an OCX which lets you place an icon in the system tray.
- This OCX was written completely in VB5, and supports left and right clicks
- and double-clicks, as well as a "flashing" action which makes having blinking
- icons in the systray a snap!

- Special Features
- ----------------
- Flash
- Type: Boolean
- Flash allows you to make your system tray icon "flash" or blink.á When set
- to True, it takes the value of the Interval property and flashes the icon
- on and off at that rate. When Flash is set False, the icon is always
- restored, so there's no worry about leaving a blank icon in the system tray!
-
- SmartClick
- Type: Boolean
- SmartClick is a fancy property of wnosTray.ocx. If you've ever noticed, most
- custom controls fire a Click event in the process of firing a double-click
- event.á While this might not matter in most application, you still might wish
- to have separate events firing for each when using a system tray icon.á With
- SmartClick, you can set the trayicon to only fire a double-click event on a
- double-click, allowing you this ability.
