In my program, I make a system kill of an application that have an icon tray
in the traybar...
But the problem is that the icon isn't kill properly by the killed
application to the task icon remains here.
The only way to delete the tray icon is to move the mouse over the tray
icon, but I'd like to di it in my programm after I kill the application.
I try something like that :

hwndTaskBar  = FindWindowEx (NULL, NULL, "Shell_TrayWnd", NULL);
hwndTrayWnd = FindWindowEx (hwndTaskBar , NULL, "TrayNotifyWnd", NULL);

and then SendMEssage (hwndTrayWnd , WM_PAINT, 0, 0);

but it doesn't work.
Any idea ???
Chris.
