FriendFeedTray Calender
Environment: Win95/98, NT4, VC5.0, UNICODE
Tray Calender is a freeware utility that I wrote after being amazed that
(a) Microsoft did not bother to offer us a calender in the tray, and
(b) People were charging good money for tiny little tray apps.
The idea is simple: Put the day of the month next to the clock in the system tray. It tells you todays date, and will update the number displayed when the date changes. 20 seconds after it starts it will reshuffle itself so that it is the right-most icon in the tray. This is useful if you put it in the "Startup" folder (so it starts automatically) becuase during startup other icons such as virus checkers and such may get between the calender and the clock.
The only options are that you can disable date checking, disable auto-shuffle, and you can change the auto-shuffle time. Right click on the date icon for the options dialog.
The class is based on my CSystemTray class, and serves as a fairly quick and dirty example of how to use it.

Ive been searching for some example code that handles the systray properly, and this has helped me no end. One sample project is worth a thousand pictures..

I have experimented and I would love to see an MFC Tray
App, that the size is "taken into consideration". Just
using MFC is bloating it and then having resources raises
the bar more. Its MFC. I dont know a lot of people who
still really worry about the 16mb people, and this really
shouldnt hinder them that much more than they Already are.
Anyway, I know this is an old post but Thanks for
TSR History Lesson. Neat. Now they're called Utilities.
Fundamentally there kinda the same, Sorta?!! But who
cares!!
I noticed on an app I wrote(simple animation)
using CSystemTray that if I let it run for a longer
period of time, the size that Task Manager reports for
Memory Usage decreases. I dont know if this corresponds
to what Norton is dishing out, but my app will start at
1500KB and Ive seen it as low as 300KB. I believe TrayCal
does this to some extent too.....
Anyway, this app is about 170KB statically linked
and comes up at about 1500Kb. I totally rewrote
CSystemTray so It no longer had MFC in it, and then
wrote the same app in Win32 and the app size ends up
at 32KB and its memory Usage comes up at 1200KB.
Significant, beats me, the only computers it's been
run on (about 30 different ones of different sizes)
all handled the original CSystemTray one just fine.
Just thought I'd share my findings, and thank Chris
for a cool class to work with!!!!
Not to difficult to tear out the MFC I might add.
Then it works swell in ATL.
Thanks Again,
Brian
