# re: A WPF wrapper around Windows Form NotifyIcon

When I try use the example in VS2008 or Expression Blend 2, I get the following error:

Unsupported URI syntax.

Method expects a relative URI or a pack://application:.../ form of absolute URL

# re: A WPF wrapper around Windows Form NotifyIcon

Hi marianor, thanks for the very handy wrapper. I am having a bit of trouble with the ContextMenu that shows up on a right-click. The problem is it is not responsive to going-away at the proper times. For example, hitting the escape key does nothing, and opening another menu (for another tray icon, e.g.) is the same.

Any thoughts on how to make this menu disappear properly?

# re: A WPF wrapper around Windows Form NotifyIcon

To stop this error, define the icon in code and set the icon to the notifyIcon.Icon property.

Uri iconUri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Resources/USERCARD_2.ico", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);

           notifyIcon.Icon = BitmapFrame.Create(iconUri);

Been looking for a solution to this problem for awhile now.  Thanks for sharing and seasons greetings :)

You dont happen to have this for VB or must i convert it =)

The wrapper is fantastic, thank you!

Has anyone found a solution to the context menu staying open?  I can't find any reliable way to make the context menu behave like it should.

# re: A WPF wrapper around Windows Form NotifyIcon

An easy way to solve the ContextMenu staying open is adding an event MouseLeave in Xaml file and event handler in .xaml.cs file as follows.

In .xaml file:

<MenuItem Header="Exit" Click="OnExitClick" MouseLeave="OnMouseLeave" />

In .xaml.cs file:

private void OnMouseLeave(object sender,

                         RoutedEventArgs e)

{

  this.NotifyIcon.ContextMenu.IsOpen = false;

}

It works for me.

Thanks for this but....

I'm using this in my own project and I'm getting the error

"The file Resources/NotifyIcon.ico is not part of the project or its 'Build Action' property is not set to 'Resource'."

I don't understand why. Everything looks ok.

# re: A WPF wrapper around Windows Form NotifyIcon

marianor.  Your fix for the context menu's not going away should be modified.  Your call to SetWindowsHookEx is passing in a non-static method with no delegate reference that stays around in memory.  Without this the reference is getting garbage collected.  And cheers for the code!
