I have a WPF application which has a tray icon and on right-click displays menu. How I can from an other application (WPF, WinForms, C++) simulate right-click and then click menu?

    Given that C# windows programming does not expose one to the "real working" of windows internals too much and that the problem in itself is non trivial - no downvote here. While I know the first... I would not know how to handle the menu click. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14250362/finding-and-simulating-a-click-on-a-system-tray-icon has a starting point, but it is not really dealing with the menu side. – TomTom May 09 '16 at 05:58
  • Thank you, your link contains a link to codeproject article. I have tried it but it does not work in Windows 10 – ZedZip May 09 '16 at 06:45

    I think you can use this to find the icon: https://github.com/rzhw/SuperNotifyIcon – MrApnea May 09 '16 at 07:29
