System Tray notifyIcon won't accept left-click event

I'm creating a System-Tray only application. It's somewhat complicated to have the icon without a main form, but through previous topics on StackOverflow I've worked it out. The right-click works fine, I've linked in a context menu, etc.

I'm having problems with the left-click. As far as I can tell, the "notifyIcon1_Click" event isn't firi开发者_StackOverflow社区ng at all.

    private void notifyIcon1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("Does it work here?");

        if (e.Equals(MouseButtons.Left))
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("It worked!");
        }
    }

Neither of those debug lines are outputting, breakpoints in that event don't stop the program, etc.

Am I doing this incorrectly? What should my next step be? I'm coding this in C#, using Windows 7 if that matters at all for taskbar behavior.

If you want to determine if it's a left or right click, wire up the MouseClick, rather than click.

That way you get a signature like this:

private void notifyIcon1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
        //Do the awesome left clickness
    else if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
        //Do the wickedy right clickness
    else
        //Some other button from the enum :)
}

If you want the click event of the Message/Balloon itself use

_notifyIcon.BalloonTipClicked += notifyIconBalloon_Click;


private void notifyIconBalloon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// your code
}

---

    private void NotifyIcon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MouseEventArgs mouseEventArgs = (MouseEventArgs)e;

        if (mouseEventArgs.Button == MouseButtons.Right && IsHandleCreated)
        {
            popupMenu1.ShowPopup(MousePosition);
            return;
        }

        if (mouseEventArgs.Button == MouseButtons.Left && IsHandleCreated)
        {
            if (isWindowMinimized)
                showWindow();
            else
                hideWindow();
        }
    }

The other answer is not clear that you need MouseClick event instead of Click.

notifyIcon.MouseClick += MyClickHandler;

Then your handler function will work fine.

void MyClickHandler(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Left click!");
    }
}
