Cutsom Balloon Tips w/ Notify Icon 3

[Becks25Not]

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

Comes as C# or VB.NET well done, and customizable.

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!
