Problem:

In a COBOL Application can you add an icon to the Windows system tray.

Resolution:

Attached is an  example that shows how you can add an icon to the Windows System Tray  and trap mouse events on it.

The demo works by creating a Hidden window to receive the mouse button events on the icon. The hidden window is a custom class that intercepts the Windows messages by overriding the "windowProc" method.
