According to this thread, and I quote:
So in short:
1. Is it absolutely true that subclassing is needed to accomplish this?
2. Has it been done in VB6 and is there some sample code on how to do it?
3. If the answer to my 2nd question is no, then is there a subclassing example that is similar in nature and which one could emulate to do what I'm asking?
Thanks in advance.

:: The above requires at least two modifications
a. There is now a NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4 = 4 constant vs just version 3
b: Subclassing is required now, because one can no longer use VB's MouseMove events to trap the messages. With v4, wParam contains both icon id and message, lParam contains the X,Y coords
