代码项目文章创建任务托盘应用程序给出了创建只存在于系统托盘中的应用程序的非常简单的解释和示例。

基本上改变应用程序。运行中(新Form1 ());来启动一个继承自ApplicationContext的类，并让该类的构造函数初始化一个NotifyIcon

static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

        Application.Run(new MyCustomApplicationContext());
    }
}


public class MyCustomApplicationContext : ApplicationContext
{
    private NotifyIcon trayIcon;

    public MyCustomApplicationContext ()
    {
        // Initialize Tray Icon
        trayIcon = new NotifyIcon()
        {
            Icon = Resources.AppIcon,
            ContextMenu = new ContextMenu(new MenuItem[] {
                new MenuItem("Exit", Exit)
            }),
            Visible = true
        };
    }

    void Exit(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Hide tray icon, otherwise it will remain shown until user mouses over it
        trayIcon.Visible = false;

        Application.Exit();
    }
}

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);

下面是我如何用Visual Studio 2010， .NET 4做到的

Create a Windows Forms Application, set 'Make single instance application' in properties Add a ContextMenuStrip Add some entries to the context menu strip, double click on them to get the handlers, for example, 'exit' (double click) -> handler -> me.Close() Add a NotifyIcon, in the designer set contextMenuStrip to the one you just created, pick an icon (you can find some in the VisualStudio folder under 'common7...') Set properties for the form in the designer: FormBorderStyle:none, ShowIcon:false, ShowInTaskbar:false, Opacity:0%, WindowState:Minimized Add Me.Visible=false at the end of Form1_Load, this will hide the icon when using Ctrl + Tab Run and adjust as needed.

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。

简单的添加

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
this.ShowInTaskbar = false;

到你的表单对象。 你只会在系统托盘上看到一个图标。

“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();
}
