Refresh System Tray
Hi,

 How can I refresh the System Tray through a delphi program.
 Can it be done by some API ?
 All i want is that the System Tray is redrawn so that if there are some icons that belong to "closed" programs then those icons should vanish

 Thanks

Zhaawz,
  That is exactly what my posted example does:
  "{ Sweep the mouse cursor over each icon in the tray in both dimensions }"

EddieShipman, it's not exactly the same. The difference is that you move cursor by using SetCursorPos(), but I don't move it. I'm just sending wm_mousemove messages to tray so that it thinks that user moves a cursor.

Btw, I don't think that it's good idea to move cursor (mainly because of visual defekts ;)
