Hello all,

I am trying to animate a Tray Icon in windows (in a DLL) and it appears to
be doing it right, and at the proper time, with one exception, it is not
actually showing the icon(s) animating.

I see the tray spot get taken (all the other tray icons move over and a
blank space appears for the length of time allocated to the animation
sequence) but no graphic appears.

I am loading a couple of bitmaps from a resource file as the source for the
icons in the animation sequence.

Any ideas on why the graphics are being rendered would be terribly helpful.
I can post some of the code here as well if necessary, but I will hold off
on that until it is requested :)

TIA,

Daniel
