Is ther a way to get the text for each tray icon that is visible ?

For example if you hover you mouse over any icon some program shows you some Text.

Like the NotifyIcon property .Text = "Im working....";

I like to know if ther is a way to get that text from external programs. :)

Try searching on some Windows APIs help you regarding this, there is a program called API viewer may help...

Thx I have looked at API win32 but Im relay new to that I found a nice page http://www.codegod.de/WebAppCodeGod/Win32APIViewer.aspx#

But to tell ya the truth it's to mutch I realy don't know what function to use to get info about the icons in the System Tray. I manage to fetch text from active windows but that isn't wath I want. :)

And about the Api Viewer I only found that for VB nothing for c#

Any example code or just a point to witch API to use would be realy great

Thx for any replays... :)
