Hi everyone A couple of weeks ago i had the need to put a small suite of applications i made in the tray area, but the VIs i could find to do this wasn't really very intuitive or was lacking the functions i needed. The solution? Another one of these put-your-LabVIEW-app-in-the-tray toolsets .. but this time, a little better wrapped than the example code you can find on NI's site.. ;-) (no offense) So here it is for you to evaluate .. it's not anything near final, and one can always find a number of small features lacking, but hey..it's event based, and its pretty easy to add more events if ever needed :-) Notes: Code is currently for LV8.6 and requires at least .NET Runtime 2.0, but i know for a fact that it runs on Win7 and LV2010.. Installation: Unpack / Extract contained "Notify Icon" folder into your user.lib and refresh palettes or restart LabVIEW.. Examples: Browse into your user.lib -> Notify Icon palette and drag the "NotifyIcon Class Example" VI to your block diagram (or open it by browsing into the "user.lib\Notify Icon\Example" folder) License: Since i made this code in my sparetime, but planned to be using it at work, i've made arrangements with the grand-old-boss and put a BSD License on it.. Feel free to send me any comments / questions AND bugfixes / error-reports Thanks Stinus Well..since FF4 doesn't want to play nice.. here is the code uploaded using good old IE :-/ Notify Icon.zip

Now get to it! .. ;0)

Just throw an url at this baby using the System Exec.vi and it will download avi, wmv, mpg, mp3 and all the media files you would ever want, directly to your hard drive! :0) Also .. if you have some skillz you can even use this small tool to sniff the http replys from the webserver and change the url dynamically if you receive a http location redirection. Otherwise .. you can download smaller media files using datasocket read .. eg. pngs, jpegs and gifs by appending [txt] to the end of the url you pass to the function. This way you get the raw file contents back, and you can freely save this data to a file of your own liking. Hope this helps you on your way .. :0) If i have misunderstood your question, i'm sorry..heh /Stinus
