CTaskIcon::CTaskIcon(HWND w, UINT id, UINT msg, HICON icon, CString tip): This constructor performs the functions of both the default constructor and the CTaskIcon::Create() member function with the corresponding parameters.
CTaskIcon::~CTaskIcon(): This is the destructor. It deallocates the data members.
BOOL CTaskIcon::Create(HWND w, UINT id, UINT msg, HICON icon, CString tip): This member function performs the functions of both the CTaskIcon::Create() and CTaskIcon::Display() member functions.
BOOL CTaskIcon::Create(HWND w, UINT id, UINT msg): This member function creates a NOTIFYICONDATA data structure which is used by the CTaskIcon::Display() member function. The appropriate elements of that structure are set to the values passed to this member function.
