What is the purpose of the NotifyIcon control in WinForms?

In WinForms, the NotifyIcon control is used to display a small icon in the system tray, commonly used for implementing background running of programs and message notifications. With the NotifyIcon control, users can see a designated icon in the system tray and perform corresponding actions by right-clicking or double-clicking on the icon, such as displaying a menu or showing a message box. The NotifyIcon control helps users navigate programs more conveniently and also provides real-time message notification functionality, allowing users to stay informed about the program’s status and important events.
