An article on displaying icons with more than 256 colors in system tray
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// SystemTray.cpp : implementation file
//
// This is a conglomeration of ideas from the MSJ "Webster" application,
// sniffing round the online docs, and from other implementations such
// as PJ Naughter's "CTrayNotifyIcon" (http://indigo.ie/~pjn/ntray.html)
// especially the "CSystemTray::OnTrayNotification" member function.
// Joerg Koenig suggested the icon animation stuff
//
// This class is a light wrapper around the windows system tray stuff. It
// adds an icon to the system tray with the specified ToolTip text and 
// callback notification value, which is sent back to the Parent window.
//
// The tray icon can be instantiated using either the constructor or by
// declaring the object and creating (and displaying) it later on in the
// program. eg.
//
//        CSystemTray m_SystemTray;    // Member variable of some class
//        
//        ... 
//        // in some member function maybe...
//        m_SystemTray.Create(pParentWnd, WM_MY_NOTIFY, "Click here", 
//                          hIcon, nSystemTrayID);

// Updated: 25 Jul 1998 - Added icon animation, and derived class
//                        from CWnd in order to handle messages. (CJM)
//                        (icon animation suggested by Joerg Koenig.
//                        Added API to set default menu item. Code provided
