notifyicon

Hi .. i have a problem using the "Catch Clipboard Events code" found on this link :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/621577/clipboard-event-c/2487582#2487582

the code works great only if the form stays in the foreground, not minimized to tray BUT: if you add a notifyicon and minimize the form to tray and turn the showintaskbar to false (so that you only have an icon in the tray), the program wont catch any clipboard changes anymore ... even if you maximize the form back, it wont work again ...you have to restart the program ..

any idea on how to solve this issue !? how can i catch clipboard changes, even if the form is minimized into the tray !?

any help is really appreciated ...

Thanks

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
