As is often the case, there are a few ways of doing it.
1) Use a component. There are a zillion TrayIcon components in the
various libaries on the 'net. Also, the shareware ZieglerCollection at
http://www.zieglersoft.com has one.
2) You can do it yourself. Check this old posting by Harold Howe (who
has a chapter in his must-have reference book "BCB How-To" on it):
