NOTIFYICONIDENTIFIER structure (shellapi.h)

Contains information used by Shell_NotifyIconGetRect to identify the icon for which to retrieve the bounding rectangle.

Syntax

typedef struct _NOTIFYICONIDENTIFIER {
 DWORD cbSize;
 HWND hWnd;
 UINT uID;
 GUID guidItem;
} NOTIFYICONIDENTIFIER, *PNOTIFYICONIDENTIFIER;

Members

cbSize

Type: DWORD

The size of this structure, in bytes.

hWnd

Type: HWND

A handle to the parent window used by the notification's callback function. For more information, see the hWnd member of the NOTIFYICONDATA structure.

uID

Type: UINT

The application-defined identifier of the notification icon. Multiple icons can be associated with a single hWnd, each with their own uID.

guidItem

Type: GUID

A registered GUID that identifies the icon. Use GUID_NULL if the icon is not identified by a GUID.

Remarks

The icon can be identified to Shell_NotifyIconGetRect through this structure in two ways:

• guidItem alone (recommended)
• hWnd plus uID
