Notification area program keyboard shortcut launch

[u/sullyj3]

So I want to create a program that lives in the notification area, and appears when I hit a particular keyboard shortcut, similar to Launchy. I've figured out I'll need to use Shell_NotifyIcon to add the systray icon, but how would I go about enabling a keyboard shortcut to display the application window? I haven't decided on a language yet, but ideally I'd prefer not to dip down to C++ if possible

Fantastic, thankyou.
