MsgBlaster.bas
MsgBlaster.bas is standard VB6 module, which implements a generic framework for window subclassing. The main advantage of using MsgBlaster.bas (as opposed to third-party subclassing controls) is that it does not impose any additional runtime requirements.
CShellTrayIcon.cls
TheCShellTrayIcon class allows your VB6 application to set, change and delete icons in the system's tray
(note: the official term for the tray is the taskbar notification area).
The class raises an event in your application when the user clicks an icon in the tray.
The class also allows you to easily implement an animated icon in the tray.
In addition, the accompanying sample application contains an MPic.bas standard module, which implements an enhanced
LoadResPicture procedure. When loading icons, the MPic.LoadResPicture procedure lets you specify
the desired icon dimensions (useful for icons with several device images, for example 16x16 and 32x32) and it also overcomes
the bug documented in the MS KB article
BUG: Icon Resource May Not Appear as Expected.
