Dismiss the tray menu when clicking away from it - #3
Merged
Conversation
A hand-shown tray ContextMenuStrip never gets foreground activation, so clicking outside it did not close it: you were stuck opening an item to dismiss the menu. Call SetForegroundWindow on the menu before showing it (the classic Win32 tray fix) so click-away closes it normally.
