There really is no way of doing this without some seriously hefty PInvoke stuff, other than getting mouse click location inside your app. A big problem will be that the NotifyIcon tray can rearrange the icons as it sees fit, and you won't be able to tell. I also know users can Hide inactive icons, which could cause you even more headaches.
