Hi @Việt Trần , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

What state are you referring to? If it is open, you can get the mouse click position. Is your ultimate goal to place the ui on the icon?

Hi @Jiale Xue - MSFT , thanks for your support.

My goal is to place the UI above the icon tray. I got this information by the following code

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr WindowFromPoint(POINT Point);
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool GetWindowRect(IntPtr hWnd, out RECT lpRect);

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct POINT
{
    public int X;
    public int Y;
}

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct RECT
{
    public int left;
    public int top;
    public int right;
    public int bottom;
}

private Rectangle GetSystemTrayBounds(POINT point)
{
    Rectangle trayBounds = new Rectangle();
    point.X = Cursor.Position.X;
    point.Y = Cursor.Position.Y;
    IntPtr hWnd = WindowFromPoint(point);
    if (hWnd != IntPtr.Zero)
    {
        RECT rect;
        if (GetWindowRect(hWnd, out rect))
        {
            trayBounds = new Rectangle(
                rect.left,
                rect.top,
                rect.right - rect.left,
                rect.bottom - rect.top
            );
        }
    }
    return trayBounds;
}

private void NotifyIcon_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    POINT point;
    point.X = Cursor.Position.X;
    point.Y = Cursor.Position.Y;
    Rectangle trayBounds = GetSystemTrayBounds(point);
    // do something
}
