I've found that the code execution never returns from the mpr. So the menu is still active (though not visible) and waiting for the user to select an item. Odd that a menu could be invisible and yet still active. I'm toying with some ideas using NOWAIT and my own event processing loop, I'm hoping it will give me back enough control to formulate a workaround for this.

> Was there a solution found to this? It makes the class fairly unuseable without some kind of workaround. I just ran into this myself, and while I may decide to switch back to the bbsystray.dll in order to get my app out the door, I find it a little hard to just leave a problem like this unsolved. It doesn't make much sense. Even if you call removeiconfromsystray method and then addicontosystray the icon it still doesn't begin responding again until the entire process is terminated and restarted. I'll try a few more things and see what I come up with, but this is the only discussion about this issue that I've yet found on the net...so I thought I would see if anyone has had any luck working around this bug.
