you know the notification area in the Windows 10 task bar which shows some icons when clicking the little ^ symbol. I try to find a way to determine which icons are currently shown there – programmatically.
I found articles about NOTIFYICONDATA and Shell_NotifyIcon and stuff but this seems to be used to create icons only but does not allow to read out the notification area “content”. Unfortunately I haven´t found any other APIs or specific events in the event history or something wich could be monitored.
Background is that some applications announce updates through an icon in that notification area. I would like to monitor that on a remote computer because I don´t want to logon there every day in order to check it manually.
