creating events for newly created windows form control (in wpf)

I created a notifyicon in a wpf project using this code:

Dim ni = New System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
Private Sub btnsystemtray_MouseUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs) Handles btnTaskbar.MouseUp
    ni.Visible = True
    ni.Icon = My.Resources.myicon
    Me.Hide()
End Sub

I was able to make it work which minimizes the window to system tray. However, I don't know how to make a click event for the notifyicon which should show the window. Thanks!

WPF doesn't have design time support for NotifyIcon, so you'll have to do it in code.

Private WithEvents ni As New System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon

Private Sub ni_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ni.Click
  Me.Show()
End Sub

Be sure to manually dispose the NotifyIcon on exit to remove it from the system tray:

Private Sub MainWindow_Closed(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Closed
  ni.Dispose()
End Sub
