iebidan Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 I've been reading for the last 4 days about using balloon tooltips outside the systray, found many code for VB6 and C#, none of them functional. I read avery article that Microsoft has and none of them is helpful. Does anyone has a good link or code for showing balloon tooltips outside the systray (like the one you get in WXP when you have the Caps Lock on and try to unblock Windows) for .NET??? Any help will be appreciated. Quote Fat kids are harder to kidnap
Guest Deleted member 22320 Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 I saw a usercontrol that someone did not too long ago... it was a system try icon with balloon popup functionality. can't remember who did it or where it was, but I think it was called NotifyXP or NotifyIconXP.. . i know it had Notify and XP in the name :) Sounds like its what your looking for, but I never tried it. I'll poke around a little and see if i can find where i saw that again. Quote
iebidan Posted May 30, 2003 Author Posted May 30, 2003 Thanks for the help, but I think that control was wrote by me (I wrote one a couple months ago), also some other persons did the same, but what I'm looking for is a tooltip control with a balloon shape that can be used in diff controls like a text box or a combobox Thanks anyway, right now I'm writting something to see if meets my demands, if I can do something great I'll post it here so everyone will have access to it Regards Quote Fat kids are harder to kidnap
*Gurus* divil Posted May 30, 2003 *Gurus* Posted May 30, 2003 I think there's just a flag you can apply to normal tooltips to make them appear as balloons. I already have a working implementation of tooltips through win32 so perhaps I'll give it a shot. Quote MVP, Visual Developer - .NET Now you see why evil will always triumph - because good is dumb.

iebidan Posted May 30, 2003 Author Posted May 30, 2003 I'm also trying to do something, I just know that you need to use CreateWindowsEX, SendMessage, and two other API calls to do it... but I don't have enough time to create it, too much work and so little time. I hope some day you can tell me that you did it Regards Quote Fat kids are harder to kidnap
*Gurus* divil Posted May 30, 2003 *Gurus* Posted May 30, 2003 Ok, I just had to try it. All I had to do was apply TTS_BALLOON to my tooltip window's style and it worked.

*Gurus* divil Posted May 30, 2003 *Gurus* Posted May 30, 2003 Ok, I'm going to upload an example in the code library of how to get the .NET tooltip extended to use balloons instead of regular tooltips.
