How to notify users on new message, chat, end date of something in a vfp application.

[A Beginner]

I want to make a new project of notifying users about new message, chat, and many other things like end date of something. The notification would be like gmail(new mail) or skype (somebody is online, new message). Is there any reference link or idea to start with?

I observed it's not possible to keep a Balloon Tip notification open until a user sees it and clicks on it, it will always disappear - on Windows 10."
I agree, Our software is on windows server 2012. And I, having user access on server tested on that and also on a small laptop having windows 7 on which only vfp is installed for testing purpose (Software in not over that.). There was a lot of behavioral difference.

"...what you mean, now?"
All our forms are modal forms. Our working environment and large no. of forms don't allow us to convert all the forms to modeless thus they are planning to write a separate exe that will include modeless forms.
Till a decision comes, my question is that 'The form I am supposed to write, can that have a look like this balloon notification and feature like settling to the system tray?'

"I would help, if you'd write in whole sentences here.... "
Thank you for your assurance. I will write in whole sentences...

Well, the for you wirte yourself can do anything you want and look anyway you want, so what is the question?
It will never appear in the systtray itself, but you can position it anywhere you want, you position it at the lower right corner of your desktop. It is totally unimportant for the form to be part of the systray or not, isn't it? Of course your own form is "just" a form, but otherwise you have full control over it, don't you? In what directions are you thinking?

Bye, Olaf.
