Nice bunch of things for the WinForms NotifyIcon

SuperNotifyIcon

This is an archive of a few helpers I wrote a long while back related to the WinForms NotifyIcon. It's quite messy and the API isn't great, but it has some locating code (with one delightfully hacky method I'm quite proud of my younger self for, of course strongly not recommended), as well as some frame-based animation code.

supernotifyicon's Issues

Does not work when targeting .Net Framework 4 and x86

When compiling for an x86 platform and targeting the .Net Framework 4, the FormDrop stays in the background instead of popping up when the mouse is dragging over the icon.

Also, the debug form is not refreshed at all, and the currently active form never changes.

These problems can be tested even with the demo project.

If the platform is changed to x64, everything seems to work. If targeting .Net 3.5, the project can be compiled for x64 or x86 alike.

Does not work with context menu

I added context menu like this

trayMenu = new ContextMenu();
trayMenu.MenuItems.Add("Exit", OnExit);
notifyIcon.NotifyIcon.ContextMenu = trayMenu;

Dragdrop stop working after I set ContextMenu property.
