Notifyicon pop-up question.

Hi all,

I've got notifyicon (ntfSystemInfo) component on my form. It's
basically a system tray icon.
Whenever user puts his mouse over this icon it shows a textspecified
with this command:

ntfSystemInfo.T ext = "blahblah"

My problem is that it shows only on mouseover.

My program works the way, that it updates the text of notifyicon in
certain user specified time periods.

I would like to automatically pop-up this text on system tray every
time the text updates. How can I do this?

I need something like msn messanger, to show little roll-up/popup (same
as if a new msn message came) and then after 1-2 seconds to hide it.

How to do this in vb.net?

Martin

VB.NET 2002 on Windows 2000 SP 3 When I start my program, the NotifyIcon appears in the tray, as it should. However, when I close the program, the NotifyIcon remains until I hover over it with my mouse. If I don't hover over it to make it disappear and then open the program again, another one is added, resulting in a multiplicity of the icon in the tray. I've even tried setting its Visible property to false, followed by a call to the...

Hi Everyone, My problem concerns ContextMenus. It's easy enough to create one and apply it to a NotifyIcon. When it's compiled and run, it works beautifully. Right click and there you are. But I want it to show the ContextMenu on a left click. This seems to be harder than it should be. I've assigned a click event to the NotifyIcon which it registers, but when I try to use: NotifyIcon1.ContextMenu.Show(Forms.Control control ,...

Can anyone tell me if there is a workable method to get the mouse cursor position on the screen or the NotifyIcon position? I need to display a context menu for the NotifyIcon when clicked and I'd like it to display based on the relative position of the tray icon or mouse pointer if possible (whichever method works). Any help would be much appreciated. - Glen

The NotifyIcon component appears to be a logical candidate and worked...

Hello, I have an application with a notifyIcon. When my application's main form is hidden by some other window I would like to bring it in front by single-clicking the NotifyIcon.

I have a ContextMenuStrip that I added to my NotifyIcon. Whenever the Main Form has been hidden, the NotifyIcon can be right-clicked, and the Operators can select "Show Form." The ContextMenuStrip shows just fine as long as the Main Form is being shown, but as soon as the form is hidden, I can not access it. Also, when the Main Form is hidden, the Click and Double-Click events for the NotifyIcons do not work. The program is started...
