taskbar icon menu separator

[pshrew]

Is there a (simple) way to add horizontal separator bars to the menu for a taskbar icon menu?

I'm coming up with nuttin' to do that in CVI 8.  Perhaps it's not so hard to do with the windows SDK?

Thanks

Hi Shrew,

Would you please provide a sample picture of what you are desiring?  For example, the below screenshot seems to be typical Windows behavior and does not have horizontal lines of separation between the Internet Explorer stacked taskbar entries.  Are you wanting to add them anyway?

Howdy AEDavid,

It is not the taskbar icons for programs that I'm working on, it is the system tray icon menuu that I am creating in the notification area of the taskbar.  I know how to build a system tray menu, I just want to insert separators.  If you take a look at the Outlook icon down there, it does have some separator bars.  I would like to implement these for a menu which will have several items that I would like to group together by using the separators.

Hi Shrew,

Thank you for the clarification.  Actually, I am finding an example for 8.01 (and 8.1) that has this functionality.  Below is the picture that I think captures what you want.  The example program is in Help >> Find Examples >> Building User Interfaces >> Menus and Toolbars >> trayicon.prj.  The line of code to insert the blank line is:      InsertTrayIconMenuItem (trayIconHandle, 0, &menuItemIndex);    There is more detail in the help for InsertTrayIconMenuItem.

Hey David,

Thats it!  Thanks a lot.  I just went to the command pop-up menu for that function and it was right there under my nose the whole time - DUH!

Thanks a lot, man!
