The following code example demonstrates handling the Click event. This example assumes that you have added the code to a form containing a NotifyIcon object named NotifyIcon1.

C#

// Initialize the NofifyIcon object's shortcut menu.
private void InitializeContextMenu()
{
    MenuItem[] menuList = new MenuItem[]{new MenuItem("Sign In"),
        new MenuItem("Get Help"), new MenuItem("Open")};
    ContextMenu clickMenu = new ContextMenu(menuList);
    NotifyIcon1.ContextMenu = clickMenu;

    // Associate the event-handling method with 
    // the NotifyIcon object's click event.
    NotifyIcon1.Click +=new System.EventHandler(NotifyIcon1_Click);
}

// When user clicks the left mouse button display the shortcut menu.  
// Use the SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorMaximizedWindowSize property
// to place the menu at the lower corner of the screen.
private void NotifyIcon1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    System.Drawing.Size windowSize = 
        SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorMaximizedWindowSize;
    System.Drawing.Point menuPoint = 
        new System.Drawing.Point(windowSize.Width-180, 
        windowSize.Height-5);
    menuPoint = this.PointToClient(menuPoint);

    NotifyIcon1.ContextMenu.Show(this, menuPoint);
}
