I am using HardCodet notifyicon (http://www.hardcodet.net/wpf-notifyicon) as tray icon, in a wpf application.
How can I add the field "Description", which shows the application name when hovering over the icon (as described in the doc here, with a picture at the end of the paragraph)

I already use the "ToolTipText" to say "Right-click to open menu". Is there a wait to add a "Description"?

This is the result I would like to achieve:
enter image description here
where the name of the application is displayed above the icon.

  • Did you tried to place custom content into the `TrayTooltip`? Example https://github.com/hardcodet/wpf-notifyicon/blob/4004e88ee272de094b9ae6a52908628b1533e708/src/NotifyIconWpf.Sample.ShowCases/Tutorials/02%20-%20ToolTips/InlineToolTipWindow.xaml#L19 – Serg Jul 06 '23 at 15:23
  • TrayToolTip only styles the field "ToolTipText" which I already use for "Right-click to open menu" (as it is a tip to use the tool); while what I need is to display the application name as in TaskbarItemInfo (doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.shell.taskbariteminfo?view=windowsdesktop-7.0#remarks), with the field "Description" – gl3yn Jul 07 '23 at 08:41

    A taskbar icon and an notifcation area icon (tray icon) are completely different things. – emoacht Jul 09 '23 at 14:18
