I am fairly new to windows programming world. I want to develop a windows application that is embedded into TaskBar(near to system tray) and clicking that actual application should launch. Is C# & WPF are right tools for that or should i use any other programming language. Any thoughts on how it can be done is very appreciated.

You can search for "tray bar application c#" or "notifyicon application c#", there are many examples. Also here is a possible duplicate of the question

How can I make a .NET Windows Forms application that only runs in the System Tray?

    Thanks for reply. I am not looking for System Tray application. I want to embed it into the taskbar itself just before System tray area. – Sitaram Pamarthi Jul 09 '12 at 08:38
  • ok , then you should search for "pinning application to taskbar" I guess. Here is a vb version of doing it programatically : http://wayneye.wordpress.com/2010/07/17/programmatically-pin-shortcut-onto-taskbar-on-win7/ – Ozgur Dogus Jul 09 '12 at 08:44

    Pinning the application doesn't solve my purpose as it becomes visible after start icon. But I want the application to visible at the other end of taskbar(near to system tray area). I am marking question as answered as I figured out that, the way I thinking to have it is not possible. – Sitaram Pamarthi Aug 22 '12 at 14:49
  • The thing you want is possible. here is a sample code explained:http://www.mstecharticles.com/2012/01/c-implementing-systemtray-using.html. this is just one example. The basic idea is to use notifyicon control in .net. If you search for it you can find many different examples. – Ozgur Dogus Aug 23 '12 at 10:44
