Problem with NotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip - balloon not showing up?

I had foiled myself... This turned out to be an issue at the OS level. I had previously disabled all balloons via the registry a few weeks ago.

I had foiled myself... This turned out to be an issue at the OS level. I had previously disabled all balloons via the registry a few weeks ago. You can read the information here on how to disable balloon tips in WinXP: support.microsoft.com/kb/307729 To enable them, just set the registry value to 1 instead and logon again/restart.

You should then log the messages for users who have disabled the balloons be able to go review them in case of need. If you can get permissions to read the registry, you could check the value and act accordingly (not to modify the value, but to log or to show the balloon).

Nice, thanks for the improvement. -g – greg7gkb Oct 11 '08 at 18:42.

Please see this it covers all combinations of mouse clicks with NotifyIcon as well as much more. The code is located in a template and is project setting driven so that you can implement NotifyIcon logic in all your projects with no coding effort at all.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
