I was wondering if anyone knows of a way for one application to find (listen almost) when any application from the system try pops up a balloon message and respond to that balloon message.
 
I'll fill in until you get a better answer (maybe). As far as I know there is no vb.net "way" to do this. Logic stands to reason there is likely a windows API way to do this (windows has to know when this happens, but whether it will tell you is another matter). That is beside looking for some 3rd party control that does it.

So here is a start( The slight down side is that it is all vb/vba code so it will likely take a little converting if you do find it.

-I hate Microsoft!
-Forever and always forward.
