Toaster Popups

Does anyone know (in VB.Net) how to do a toaster popup off a tray'd item?

I am wanting to do toasters on certain events that I am writing to alert to
different changes in my program.

Thanks!

I am not sure what a toaster is, but maybe that's what you are looking

It's a real question, I wasn't trying to sound sarcastic. I was under the
impression that the 'toaster popup' was the actual name for the event that
happens like in MSN Messenger when a contact comes online, or a message is
recieved. Or if you are working with RSSBandit when a feed is updated.

Sorry if that sounded just really stupid.
Anyone know?

Derek,
Have you look into how RSS Bandit does it? I was under the impression that
RSS Bandit installed source when I installed it last.
Note, if you include "toaster popups" in your app, be certain you include a
way to turn them off...

Hope this helps

Hi Jay, thanks for your message...it does include the source but alas, I am
not any good at all with converting C# to VB so I wasn't able to make heads
or tails of it. Was looking for some specific VB examples if anyone had
success with them.
Thanks!!!!

Hey Chris, I was tring that class out and got everything set up, I think the
way it needs to be set up but even after adding skin.bmp and close.bmp to
the project and changing their compile option to embedded resource, I get
this error:

The line it is erroring on in my form:
myclosebutton.S etCloseBitmap(N ew Bitmap(MyClass. GetType(), "close.bmp" ),
Color.FromArgb( 255, 0, 255), New Point(127, 8))

I get this error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Argumen tException' occurred in
system.drawing. dll
Additional information: Resource 'close.bmp' could not be found in class
'InnerView.Inne rView.main'.

Any ideas???
