View 4 RepliesI want to display a balloon tooltip in the system tray. Currently, my app has four forms. the main form host the notifyicon. In process of operation with other forms, i want the current form to be hidden , and display a balloon message using the notifyicon of the main form.
in the form about to close this is what i did
c# Code:
frmMain frm2 = new frmMain();
frm2.ShowBallon("Logged in","Check for new mail....");
this.Close();
[Code].....
The problem is that the procedure executes, but dosen't show any balloon .Another problem is that the notify icon does not disapper automatically when the app exits, except you hover the mopuse over it.
I am trying to make a little class to show the balloon tooltip at the moment I got eveything I want working but have no idea how to set the forecolor of text and backcolor.
here the code I am using to show the tip, I added backcolor and forecolor but nothing seems to happen, I am also using Visual Express 2010 if that makes any difference.
vbnet
Public Sub ShowTip(ByVal obj As Control)
Dim tp As New ToolTip()

I want to show "the caps lock is on balloon" warning message like Windows in login form in passward text box. but I have no idea using window's api function. but i tried using tooltip but it can't work like window. I am working on Visual Studio 2010.
View 3 RepliesI am using a Balloon tooltip to show the user which characters are invalid as a filename. I use the IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars array and convert each character to a string, before appending it to a "Invalid filename characters:" string.
vb.net
If IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars.Contains(e.KeyChar) Then
e.Handled = True
Dim str As String = "The following characters are invalid filename characters:" & nl
Dim invalidChars As New List(Of String)
For Each c As Char In IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars
[Code] .....
The result is not pretty: How do I get rid of the 'non-visual' characters (they are probably newlines, backspaces, null chars, etc) so they don't clutter up the list?
I simply want when someone hovers his mouse over a checkbox a "tip balloon" to appear describing what the control does?Using VB.NET with Visual Studio 2010.
View 2 RepliesI need to pop a balloon notification through my application. I do not know how to do this.
Actualy I need to pop balloon notification that contains the user information retrieving from oracle database on my database server.
I need to do this when the user logs into his PC.
I have an application that uses a NotifyIcon in the tray to hide/restore the application, as well as pop up notices to the user of application events. My application has a notification queue, and I use the NotificationIcon.BalloonTipClosed event to determine when to reset the balloon and show the next notification (if there's one in the queue).
This method seems to work great in both usual causes (user lets the balloon close itself when it times out, and user clicks "X" in balloon to force it to close), but there's a third case where BalloonTipClosed doesn't get called:Notification balloon pops up While it's visible, user right-clicks on notification icon to bring up context menu, causing the balloon to disappear
The BalloonTipClosed event doesn't get triggered in this instance - I figure it's a bug in the framework (I'm using 2.0), but does anybody have an idea around this? If I don't get this event, my application always thinks there's a balloon visible (I have a boolean that prevents it from displaying multiple balloons at once), and it will never show another icon again, as long as it's running.
I'm trying to create balloon tips (NOT SYSTEM TRAY) to pop up when mouse hovering over a button.
Code:
Private Sub H_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles H.MouseHover
End Sub
I have a notifyicon in my VB.NET application. At the start of the programm it goes to the system tray and adds some global hotkeys. If one of this keys is pressed, then a balloon tooltip appears. At design time I have set up the balloon icon as 'Info'. But when the balloon tooltip appears, no 'Info' icon comes up, only the standard balloon tooltip. However, when the icon type is set up to 'Error' or 'Warning', it works. Why this behaviour? (on Vista)
An another problem is, that I set the timeout property f.i. to 500 milliseconds, the balloon tooltip is even visible after some seconds too.
I am wondering how can I show a balloon tip for my system tray NotifyIcon application QUICKLY. What I mean by quickly is not linger around for like 5 seconds.. I have tried entering 1. For example my code is currently:
NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(1)
I thought about trying decimals but if I remember correctly from C++ it does nto work or make a difference.. how to display a balloon tip that pops up for only 1 second then dissapears very fast?
I have just started using Balloon Notifications in one of my apps for work but need to put the text on multiple line.
Here is my code:
nfi_Pick.BalloonTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Info
nfi_Pick.BalloonTipTitle = Picked_By & " Added A New Item"
nfi_Pick.BalloonTipText = Desc & " --> Branch: " & Item_Location & " --> Can Be Sent Today!"
nfi_Pick.ShowBalloonTip(3)
But it puts the "Can Be Sent Today" on the same line.
I have a balloon tool tip and want to show it as follows:
vb
Dim CompleteTooltip As New ToolTip With {.IsBalloon = True, .ToolTipTitle = "Title", .ToolTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Info}
CompleteTooltip.Show("Click close to confirm changes", btnClose, CInt(btnClose.Width / 2), CInt(btnClose.Height / 2), 5000)
i would have thought if i specify that i want a balloon tooltip the point that i specify would be the point that the balloon points to - NOT the upper left point of the tooltip itself... how can i specify the balloon point rather than the upper left point?
I have tried to get a balloon tip working with the ShowBalloonTip method of the NotifyIcon.
My OS is Vista Ultimate 64 bit and after some research I found out that my OS may be the issue. I was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this or if they have the same OS, try it for themselves.
Here is the code I have tried working with:

Public Class Form1
Dim sp As New Stopwatch()
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I cannot seem to figure out how to use a large icon (I'm assuming 64x64) in balloon tooltips, like when installing new hardware device drivers. I already have the icon resource added, and when I have it coded:
Me.afkNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = AFK_Timer.My.Resources.clock_balloonicon
I get the error: "Value of type 'System.Drawing.Icon' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolTipIcon'."

View 5 RepliesWe are seeing a problem with tooltip balloon that its stem is not pointing to the control to which it is associated Our requirement is thatfter a button click, the tooltip should pop up for a second or two without mouse hover.Then, when the cursor is hovered on the control, then the balloon should be seenWe are successful with point 2 but for the point 1, the tooltip's stemis pointing to some random location instead of the control of interest.
The code is as follows -
errorTooltip.IsBalloon = True
errorTooltip.UseAnimation = True

Every six minutes, my program talks to an instrument. Then, it activates a notify icon's tool tip for half a second to say what it did and when. According to the databases, everything's been going great, but the balloon tip text is a week behind and still trying to catch up. I'm getting text after text about stuff that happened last week. You should know that no one's touched the machine for at least a week. Because the program talks to the instrument every six minutes, the computer never hibernates, never shuts down, and the screen saver is off.

I have a timed event that displays a balloon in the system tray. I would like this icon to remain active for 2 minutes or when the user closes it. When this time expires, the balloon should close and begin a function. I am having 2 problems with this:
1) The baloon icon is limited to between 10 and 30 seconds, when the user is active, so it closes to soon.
2) when the user is not active, the inactive time does not count agenst the timer.
It put me in baffled about this. I am able to capture Image(Printscreen function). To do this, I am using Hot key click. However, when I capture the image(wholescreen) I am not able to capture the notification balloon from the system tray.
To be precise:- I have done this
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
If m.Msg = WM_HOTKEY Then
Dim id As IntPtr = m.WParam

If i have a NotifyIcon is it possible to owner draw the balloon tip for it?If not i was thinking it would have to be done this way:Work out if the icon is visible or not (as in not collapsed in windows vista / 7 / xp), and if not call ShowBalloonTip to force the icon visible then hide the balloon somehow. Work out the rect in relatio
View 1 RepliesMy project is working well, without any problems and I just need to add another feature, if it is possible.I'm looking for a way to be able to have a Text Balloon (I'm not sure if this is the correct description or not) that will appear when the mouse curser hovers over an object in order to display text, letting the user know exactly what this particular object does.For instance, the text balloon would say: "Download Link" when the mouse hovers over a picture or maybe "Opens Software Window".In one case it does "Open" a new window when clicked on, but I need a balloon pop-up text to say that it will open a new window.

View 1 RepliesSometimes, I have a picturebox lets say 100x100. But the image it will display is actually 100x400. I don't want to increase the size of the picturebox itself. Instead, I would like to create a vertical scrollbar (or horizontal if needed). I could not find a scrollbar in the toolbox, so I guess I have to code it. But, how? And I still wonder if I didn't make a mistake and didn't see the scrollbar in the toolbox.
