NotifyIcon ShowBalloonTip not appearing

I have an application that is made up of a single module for my global
variables and then multiple classes. There is no form. I am using a
notifyicon as my notification(Ba sically different colored icons). All
functions for the notifyicon work great except for the showballoontip.
I have configured it many ways, but basically I want:
nIcon.ShowBallo onTip(1000, "Balloon tip!", "This is a balloon tooltip
from a NotifyIcon", ToolTipIcon.Inf o) to appear as a balloon tip.

I have one thread that sleeps, and I have tried to set the balloon tip
inside the thread and outside.

The notifyicon is declared within the module since it is accessed by
multiple classes:
Public WithEvents nIcon As New NotifyIcon

I also have added a handler so I can handle click events:
AddHandler nIcon.MouseDown , AddressOf nIcon_Click

Any ideas of why this one simple line of code would not be working?

HI,

Do you see a click event in this Icon Class,

Maybe you are using another class and can you show us that click event?

OK, maybe this is my opinion, maybe these are bugs. Given the folowing: I have a NotifyIcon on my Form, a Context menu associated with the NotifyIcon, and a MenuItem on the ContextMenu set as default. When the default MenuItem is clicked, there is code to no longer show the NotifyIcon. What I feel should happen is when I double-click the NotifyIcon in the system tray, it should perform the default menu item's Click event.

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

I've been working on an application which has a NotifyIcon (system tray icon), and a corresponding ContextMenu. I want to be able to update this menu dynamically. However, when I make changes to the menu, it seems to disappear. This only breaks when the context menu is tied to a NotifyIcon - not to any other control. Below is a C# file for a form which should illustrate this (at least it does on my machine!). The same contextmenu is...

I'm having a timeout problem with NotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip, but not the problem commonly found. Most people complain that the balloon shows up too long (even though this is by design... I've done that reading), but the problem I'm having is the icon is disappearing too quickly. Even in an application that all I have is a Form, NotifyIcon and Button, when the Button_Click action is set for

Hello Jason, Thanks for using Microsoft Newsgroup Support Service, my name is Ji Zhou and I will be working on this issue with you. I have tried to but cannot reproduce your issue on my side. From your codes, I think the logical is, every time the Timer's elapsed event fires, we call the Check_For_Version_Update() function. From the Check_For_Version_Update() function, we judge a condition statement, and determine whether to call...

I have a program which puts an icon in the notification area and has a menu associated with it available by right clicking on the icon. I want the menu items to be selected by single left clicks but I also want the user to be able to single left click on the icon itself to do some other functionality. Here's the problem - the single click on the menu first fires the notifyicon1_click() routine and then the menuitem1_click() routine. How do I...

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.

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,...
