Create Sys Tray / Capture

[Fridolin Walther]

The systray is essentially a Toolbar. You can just search for it and get a list of pointer that point to datastructures holding the information about each item inside the systray. You can than read those datastructures using ReadProcessMemory. The whole process is outlined here:

This will work for XP and later. Getting the tray icon information for earlier Windows versions is a little bit trickier but doable.

[EDIT: By the way. You can't get all icons correctly because some HICON values are simply invalid. I never found the reason why ... I haven't looked much though as I was only interested on the process IDs associated with the tray icons.]
