drag and drop on NotifyIcon in tray in C#

Question

I am trying to create a C# application that runs in tray where I can drop files on it's icon. Is there any way to get the path of the file dropped on the System Tray icon? System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon does not have any events related to drag and drop.

Answer 1

it's not possible to do this, the easy way. You can show a dummy Form, if the cursor is in a special area near the notifyicon. The dummy Form can get the filepath of the droped file.
