hi,
Is there a way to popup the balloon notifications from the systray
which are so common in xp (e.g., windows messenger, usb device plug in,
microsoft antispyware, etc)? I have found several ways of doing it
using MFC and/or Win32 API on codeproject.com, but I am using .NET for
this project.
Thanks.

If you're referring to this on codeproject http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/notifyballoon.asp
It's written in .NET. No worries about P/Invoking to get what you want
done...

Actually, I hadn't found that article on codeproject. But, according
to the author, it uses quite a few hacks. I'm afraid the ClassName
would change with a new version of the framework. Are there any other
..NET solutions for this?
There actually is a better way listed in the discussion on that board
(under 'better way') (i.e., using reflection to determine the Handle of
the notify icon), but even it, according to the follow-up from the
original author, has some risks (which I don't exactly understand).
(something about using private fields and guessing the id of the icon
(both of which I don't actually see, can you clarify if you see
these??)).
NotifyIcon XP adds Balloon Popup support to the NotifyIcon as well as fixing
the OwnerDraw menuitems bug. http://www.windowsforms.net/ControlG...59&tabindex=10
