I've seen several post regarding custom 'task' being added to WPF applications but I haven't found a compatible way to do this in Windows Forms.
Note: I'm not referring to the system notification tray.
For example, if you right click Google Chrome icon in the Windows 7 Taskbar you'll see a menu like this:
I want to do the same thing in a C# Windows Forms Application. Is it possible or does it have to be in WPF?
I just came late to the party. There is a feature called 'Jumplists' which would helps you to add a new taskbar feature on right clicking the application icon: Go through the tutorial

I have an app in Windows Forms, written in C# (.Net 4.7.2) that, when minimized, goes to the system tray.
The requirement is that when the user clicks on the desktop shortcut again, if the application is already running hidden in the tray, the screen should be restored instead of opening a new instance of the same application.
I know that this behavior is common in several applications, but I still haven't found a way to do this in Windows Forms.
Thanks in advance!
Dialogs created in Xamarin Forms (e.g. Alert Dialog or a custom Dialog) are shown within the bounds of the application window. This is fine for mobile devices but on the Windows Desktop one would expect to have a true Dialog (e.g. MessageBox, Custom Dialog) that has its own window.
Is this possible with Xamarin Forms WPF?
From the document, the Xamarin.Forms WPF support is still in Preview, so will not be as complete/stable as Android/iOS/UWP support.
This is a preview, so you should expect that not everything is
production ready. Not all NuGet packages for Xamarin.Forms are ready
for WPF, and some features might not be fully working.
I find a forms-wpf-progress file and there is nothing like the MessageBox, Custom Dialog as you mentioned in the question. So I think it is not possible to create such a thing so far.
Maybe you can use a DependencyService to add your own support for features in WPF.
Is there an appropriate control to create an Icons Menu in Windows Mobile 6 or 6.5?
I am creating my own user control, but its hard to belive that such an important feature is missing.
This is the user control that I am developing:
Thanks in advance.
The native menu does not support icons or graphics, it always was text only.
You may have to mimic the native menu behavior and show your app in full screen to disable the standard menu bar.
I am creating a Windows universal app but can't find out how to create a menu like you can find in the groove music app on windows phone 10.
You can create menus like these with the Splitview control. It was introduced with Windows 10. See Docs here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.splitview.aspx
Little hint: The Button on the upper left to show and hide the menu is not part of the Splitview control and has to be created manually.
You can find this Menu in several samples including mine on github:

Take a look at this awesome tutorial from Jerry Nixon:

I want my application (written in c#) which needs to run on Windows 7 and show an icon in the notification area. The default is "only show notification" I my icon to be shown by default. looking for the api in c# or to wite a script for this.
If there's no direct way to do this is there any overriding way?
I believe it is by design the Windows 7 doesnt let you do this programmatically.
Could you not do something on the main TaskBar using the Windows API Code Pack?
