Replacing System Tray Clock

Basically, I would like to replace the Windows System Tray Clock with my own having more useful functionality.

An example of this in C++ is here:

But it doesn't seem AutoIT has similar commands in it's systemtray functions.

I have no idea how to start coding this, but any useful direction would be greatly appreciated.

(I hope I have the right thread this time).

Thank you.

Since you posted in "Developer Chat" forum, which is for C++ geeks to talk, you can write it in C++.

Except the example you posted clearly says that it is for C#.

So umm.. "No".

Sorry about that. My mistake.

thanks.

Can't see anything about replacing the Tray clock in the example you refer to, it's just about animated icons in the tray. This can be done with

Thank you. I have seen this UDF in my searches. You are right about the animation feature referenced in the article. I guess I was focusing on creating text within a system tray icon. The text I would use is a live and current digital clock face.

Maybe I should revisit animate udf. Thank you again for your reply, KaFu.
