Auto-refresh tray icon if explorer.exe crashes using `WM_TASKBARCREATED` #272

Open DrChat opened 1 year ago

DrChat commented 1 year ago

Currently, any tray icons created by NWG will disappear if the taskbar crashes and restarts.

However, there is a magic message sent across the system when the taskbar gets recreated: WM_TASKBARCREATED You can fetch its constant using this snippet:

WM_TASKBARCREATED = RegisterWindowMessageA("TaskbarCreated") ;

It would be nice if NWG could intercept this system message and attempt to recreate any tray icons the application may have registered.
