Hello;

I've just upgraded from BCB6 to BDS2006.  May application used the sample 
TTrayIcon when developed under BCB6.  After the upgrade, the TTrayIcon 
persists but the ::ShowMenu() method seems to have disappeared.  I used this 
method to cause the Tray Icon's popup menu to be displayed from a TButton's 
OnClick event.  This is done to accommodate Touch Screen users.

Is there an alternative means to programmatically display the Tray Icon's 
popup menu (like there is to display bubble help)?

Thanks in advance.

Regards;

Alain

Solution per Borland Support:

The TTrayIcon class has changed a bit in BDS 2006, but you can still 
accomplish the same thing. In BDS 2006, the following OnClick event handler 
code assigns a popup menu to the tray icon and then displays the menu where 
the user has clicked:
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
    TrayIcon1->PopupMenu = PopupMenu1;
    TrayIcon1->PopupMenu->Popup(Mouse->CursorPos.x, Mouse->CursorPos.y);
}
