Many Thanks

The tray icon is unsupported and specifically for Windows (it won't give you a menu item in the upper-right on MaxOSX, for instance)
Currently the only documentation is available in the Whats_New.txt file in the Revolution directory in Program files.
Here are a few pointers:
1. To get a tray icon:

Code: Select all

set the icon to 204010 -- the id of the image to sue as an icon
2. To set the tray icon menu

Code: Select all

set the iconMenu to "Say boo" & return & "About me"
3. To react to the user picking an item, put this in a backscript

Code: Select all

on iconMenuPick pItem
  answer "Got an iconMenuPick for:" && pItem
end iconMenuPick
For more information regarding the sue of labels, tags and dynamically modifying the icon menu, see the documentation in Whats_New.txt

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
