Hello All,

Does anyone know how to recreate something similar as Outlook when new mail comes in where the Balloon tip in the system tray gives you a preview, lets you delete ot flag it or open it right from the balloon?

Any help, direction, ideas etc would be most appreciated!!

Thank you,
Becca
 
I'm playing with something right now, but since I haven't done much with it yet I can give you in depth ideas. What you are looking for (in vs2k5 at least) is a NotifyIcon object. This will put an Icon in the systemtray. It should be able to do what you want/need.

Hi All,

Thanks for responding!!

Borvik, that is exactly what I was looking for!!

Sorwen, I am sorry -- I should have been more clear. I am using the NotifyIcon but as is, you only get a boring yellow tool tip that you click on the whole theng then have to launch something else.

Thanks again both of you!
