Programmatically clear the system tray icon?

[David E. Battey]

Is it possible to clear the "envelope" system tray icon that appears when
new mail has arrived using VBA? If so, how?

Thanks,
David

See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/code/clearenvicon.htm for code to do
that.

Looks promising -- thanks.

However, I can't figure out a way to get the hWnd to pass to
RemoveNewMailIcon. How do I do this.

The example on the web page
(http://www.slipstick.com/dev/code/clearenvicon.htm) shows a call without
the hWnd parameter, which doesn't work.

Thanks.

My mistake. Despite the comments in the code, I was calling KillNewMailIcon
instead of RemoveNewMailIcon.
