Introduction

Years ago when Chris Maunder published his MFC TrayCalendar app, I added a few features that I wanted. Such as being able to copy the current date to the clipboard, and a dialog to show the calender so I copy copy date ranges and look what date of the week my neice's birthday was on or what not.

I recently hacked up a .Net version of the app. The difference is that the system tray icons are created dynamically.

The code to convert an Image to an Icon that actually came from the web.

// Convert an image to an Icon

System.Drawing.Icon ImageToIcon(System.Drawing.Image image)
{
    return System.Drawing.Icon.FromHandle(((Bitmap) image).GetHicon());
}

I'd like to add other features like integrating with Outlook.

Update

I removed the timer control and used the Win32 SetTimer. I think there is an issue with the font too.
