Hide Balloon Tip

Hi,

I have a Windows application (VS2005) where I am using a notifyIcon in
the tray, and showing a balloon tip when certain events occur.

No matter what I set the timeout to, the balloon tip will not disappear
unless it is interacted with.
I am trying to get it to pop up for a few seconds and then go away.

I thought of using another timer and hiding it, but there doesn't appear
to be a way of hiding it.
Can anybody help me here?
Thanks.

Hi, The truth is I despise windows xp balloon tips. Well, not so much the balloon tips, but how they're used by the operating system: like I need my system tray to tell me when there are "unused icons" on my desktop, or that "local disk" has less than 200 mb of free space. But I digress I liked the way GTray told me when I had new mail using the balloon tip, and so when I replicated the program in python for use with

I create a balloon tip in the system tray using: notify.ShowBalloonTip(10000, "Text", "More Text", ToolTipIcon.Info); After the time expires I want the icon to go away. The balloon disappears, but I can't reliably get rid of the icon. What's the right way to do that?

Hi, For my program I use the notification control to show the user at least an icon or if (s)he decides to, a balloon as wel with some info. In the balloon I have two linkbuttons en the problem comes when the user taps on one of them. One linkbutton is to show a form, the other is to stop the program. After tapping on STOP the notification should go away and a messagebox appears with the question if the user really wants to stop.

You know those little balloon tips that come out of your task bar- like for example when Windows warns you about window supdates being available? I'd like to create some of those from my C# app... Can you tell me how? I want to use it to notify users of an event while my program is running in the background (possibly as a service) and it would be really nice if I can add clickable links in that blaloon tip to open a window for details....

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
