    text
    copied!<p>I'm using <a href="http://www.hardcodet.net/projects/wpf-notifyicon" rel="nofollow">WPF-NotifyIcon</a>, and am following <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/36468/WPF-NotifyIcon" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a>, and it works when I put the XAML code in my MainWindow.xaml, however once I move onto the "Creating the NotifyIcon from a Resource Dictionary" part it stops showing up in the tray.</p> <p>I have a Dictionary1.xaml with the following code in it:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:tb="http://www.hardcodet.net/taskbar"&gt; &lt;!-- Globally declared notify icon --&gt; &lt;tb:TaskbarIcon x:Key="MyNotifyIcon" IconSource="/Notifier;component/assets/icon_16x.ico" ToolTipText="Notifier" MenuActivation="RightClick" Visibility="Visible" /&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary&gt; </code></pre> <p>An App.xaml with the following code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Application x:Class="Notifier.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml"&gt; &lt;Application.Resources&gt; &lt;ResourceDictionary Source="Dictionary1.xaml" /&gt; &lt;/Application.Resources&gt; &lt;/Application&gt; </code></pre> <p>and I just copied over the App class code from that section of the tutorial.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong? Why isn't the icon showing up? And on a related note, how can I have a program that doesn't have a MainWindow, but instead just runs from the taskbar (Which would be ideal with this control).</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>I took out the StartupUri from App.xaml and put the following code in my App.xaml.cs:</p> <pre><code> protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e) { base.OnStartup(e); tb = (TaskbarIcon)FindResource("MyNotifyIcon"); tb.Visibility = Visibility.Visible; //new MyClassIWantToInstantiate(); } </code></pre> <p>It works perfectly, but is there anything wrong with doing this?</p>
