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;
        }
    }

您可以创建表单，修改它，然后将它传递给应用程序。作为参数运行。：

    internal static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        ///  The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            ApplicationConfiguration.Initialize();
            var form = new Form1();
            form.Hide();
            form.Opacity = 0;
            form.ShowInTaskbar = false;
            Application.Run(form);
        }
    }

添加你的通知图标和上下文菜单(如果需要)到你的表单在设计时作为一个常规的应用程序。确保你的通知图标是可见的，并有一个相关的图标。这还将允许您使用以后可能出于任何原因需要的表单

notifyIcon1->ContextMenu = gcnew

System::Windows::Forms::ContextMenu();
System::Windows::Forms::MenuItem^ nIItem = gcnew
System::Windows::Forms::MenuItem("Open");

nIItem->Click += gcnew System::EventHandler(this, &your_class::Open_NotifyIcon);

notifyIcon1->ContextMenu->MenuItems->Add(nIItem);

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();
        }
    }
}

Create a new Windows Application with the wizard. Delete Form1 from the code. Remove the code in Program.cs starting up the Form1. Use the NotifyIcon class to create your system tray icon (assign an icon to it). Add a contextmenu to it. Or react to NotifyIcon's mouseclick and differenciate between Right and Left click, setting your contextmenu and showing it for which ever button (right/left) was pressed. Application.Run() to keep the app running with Application.Exit() to quit. Or a bool bRunning = true; while(bRunning){Application.DoEvents(); Thread.Sleep(10);}. Then set bRunning = false; to exit the app.

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 :)
