Example
This project is in the Examples folder that ships with Real Studio. The Open event of the App class calls AddTrayItem and then uses a class based on a Timer to start animating the item.
me.AutoQuit = false
mAppItem = new AppItem
If me.AddTrayItem( mAppItem ) Then
mTimer = new IconSwitcher( mAppItem, 10 )
End If
mAppItem = new AppItem
If me.AddTrayItem( mAppItem ) Then
mTimer = new IconSwitcher( mAppItem, 10 )
End If
