I'm using Visual Basic for a simple mail application.

The application is normally iconized, and on the event of incoming mail, the 
apperance of the icon changes. Double-clicking the icon, starts the mail 
program.

To be able to invoke the programs setup-dialogue, I would like to enter a 
new selection in the system menu (the one you get when single-clicking the 
icon), but I'm not able to figure out how to do it.

I guess I have to use the API call 'AppendMenu', but my info on this is 
sparse. Any help appreciated.

If you e-mail me, I will summarize to the group.

Regards
