“系统托盘”应用程序只是一个普通的win表单应用程序，唯一的区别是它在windows系统托盘区域创建了一个图标。为了创建sys。托盘图标使用NotifyIcon组件，你可以在工具箱(常用控件)中找到它，并修改它的属性:图标，工具提示。它还允许您处理鼠标单击和双击消息。

还有一件事，为了实现外观和感觉或标准托盘应用程序。添加followinf行在你的主窗体显示事件:

private void MainForm_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
    Hide();
} 

据我所知，您仍然必须使用表单编写应用程序，但在表单上没有控件，并且永远不会将其设置为可见。使用NotifyIcon(可以在这里找到它的MSDN示例)来编写应用程序。

I've wrote a traybar app with .NET 1.1 and I didn't need a form. First of all, set the startup object of the project as a Sub Main, defined in a module. Then create programmatically the components: the NotifyIcon and ContextMenu. Be sure to include a MenuItem "Quit" or similar. Bind the ContextMenu to the NotifyIcon. Invoke Application.Run(). In the event handler for the Quit MenuItem be sure to call set NotifyIcon.Visible = False, then Application.Exit(). Add what you need to the ContextMenu and handle properly :)

我将接受的答案改编为。net Core，使用推荐的替换已弃用类:

腰椎->腰椎 ->工具箱

Program.cs

namespace TrayOnlyWinFormsDemo
{
    internal static class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            ApplicationConfiguration.Initialize();
            Application.Run(new MyCustomApplicationContext());
        }
    }
}

MyCustomApplicationContext.cs

using TrayOnlyWinFormsDemo.Properties;  // Needed for Resources.AppIcon

namespace TrayOnlyWinFormsDemo
{
    public class MyCustomApplicationContext : ApplicationContext
    {
        private NotifyIcon trayIcon;

        public MyCustomApplicationContext()
        {
            trayIcon = new NotifyIcon()
            {
                Icon = Resources.AppIcon,
                ContextMenuStrip = new ContextMenuStrip()
                {
                    Items = { new ToolStripMenuItem("Exit", null, Exit) }
                },
                Visible = true
            };
        }

        void Exit(object? sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            trayIcon.Visible = false;
            Application.Exit();
        }
    }
}

在。net 6中，我必须像这样工作我的类的核心:

private NotifyIcon trayIcon;
private ContextMenuStrip contextMenu1;
private ToolStripMenuItem menuItem1;

public MyCustomApplicationContext()
{
    contextMenu1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip();
    menuItem1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem();
    this.menuItem1.Text = "E&xit";
    this.menuItem1.Click += new System.EventHandler(Exit);
    this.contextMenu1.Items.AddRange(
            new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem[] {this.menuItem1 });
    trayIcon = new NotifyIcon(){Icon = Resources.AppIcon, ContextMenuStrip = this.contextMenu1, Visible = true };            

}

正如mat1t所说，你需要在你的应用程序中添加一个NotifyIcon，然后使用下面的代码来设置工具提示和上下文菜单:

this.notifyIcon.Text = "This is the tooltip";
this.notifyIcon.ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
this.notifyIcon.ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("Option 1", new EventHandler(handler_method)));

这段代码只显示了系统托盘中的图标:

this.notifyIcon.Visible = true;  // Shows the notify icon in the system tray

如果你有一个表格(无论出于什么原因)，以下将是需要的:

this.ShowInTaskbar = false;  // Removes the application from the taskbar
Hide();

右键点击获得上下文菜单是自动处理的，但如果你想在左键点击上做一些操作，你需要添加一个点击处理程序:

    private void notifyIcon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var eventArgs = e as MouseEventArgs;
        switch (eventArgs.Button)
        {
            // Left click to reactivate
            case MouseButtons.Left:
                // Do your stuff
                break;
        }
    }
