Windows System Tray App Engine

[robritenour]

In PS Studio the Windows System Tray App Engine is provided and a initial icon is hard coded as part of the Build process. In the blog posts for this engine there is mention of object #SapienHost as part of the engine, and the additional menu items can be added easily. What I cannot see how to do is change the application icon in the system tray programmatically. That part of the included engine is hidden from us. I've tried using $SapienHost.Icon, no luck. I realize it as simple the below example, but we need to know the variable name Sapien used in the engine.

$Main_Tool_Icon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
$Main_Tool_Icon.Text = "MySystemTrayApp"
$Main_Tool_Icon.Icon = $icon

Is this doable or do I need to forgo this engine and code it all myself?

Have you tried to change the icon in the "Build" settings?

I am assuming he means changing dynamically to indicate status.

Correct, the desire it to change dynamically/programmatically to indicate status. Setting the icon in the Build properties is hard coding a particular icon, which is great when it launches.
