Matt Griffith's .NET Utilities Class Library (NotifyIcon)

Matt Griffith's .NET Utilities Class Library

"NotifyIcon
NotifyIcon is a component that creates an icon in the System Tray. It also displays balloon ToolTips and provides a way for applications to minimize themselves to the System Tray.
Features:
Create an icon in the System Tray. Works the same as the System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon class in the base class library.
Show balloon ToolTips. Influenced by Hans Blomme�s NotifyIconXP VB.NET code and the CSystemTray class at The Code Project . Allows you to create a Windows 2000-style balloon ToolTip for your System Tray icon.
MinimizeToTray and RestoreFromTray. Based on the CSystemTray class at The Code Project. Allows you to minimize and restore your application to and from the System Tray. It animates the minimize and restore if the user has Animate Windows turned on. Otherwise it minimizes and restores normally. "

Nice... the default component that comes with the .Net framework only get's 1/2 the job done. This one seems a more complete implementation. Now to reto my NotifyIcon apps... :)
