Could anyone show some example code to show an icon in the Windows Mobile taskbar in eMbedded Visual C++?

I'm having trouble getting it to work...

See the eVC help for
Shell_NotifyIcon()

Well I have the NOTIFYICONDATA structure done and stuff but Shell_NotifyIcon dosn't display anything in the taskbar.... seeing as I'm getting no examples, perhaps my noobish code will point out the problem... lol

Code:

n_icondat.hIcon = LoadIcon(g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_FIREWALL)); n_icondat.uFlags = NIF_ICON | NIF_MESSAGE; n_icondat.uCallbackMessage = WM_ACTIVATE; n_icondat.hWnd = g_hwndCB; n_icondat.cbSize = sizeof(n_icondat); Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &n_icondat);

1st, make sure you empty the whole structure
memset(&n_icondat, 0, sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA));

2nd, I usually use
sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA);

3rd, Are you sure the ICON you'r loading is a 16x16

4th, (and this is maybe why it doesn't show) give your icon an ID
n_icondat.uID= <some ID>;

5th, I reserve the right to get a free copy of your software once done :D

Godd luck
;)

Ok, no show... the pic I'm using has a drop down box that says "standard" and "small", small is 16x16...
