Tray Icons, Mouse Clicks and Popup Menus
I frequently run into lost souls using our competitors' tools asking how they can control what happens when they click an icon in the system tray. The answer they get is almost universally "you can't control that, Windows handles that for you" but that just isn't even close to true.
So, if Windows doesn't control what happens, how are clicks on the icons supposed to work? There are User Experience Guidelines you can follow, but there are no rules. Ultimately the decision is up to the application that receives the mouse clicks.

The technique presented here removes that limitation and allows you to save the contents of any movie clip regardless of whether it's visible or not.
