Hide Balloon Tip

[Paul Cheetham]

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.

more like MSN Messenger alerts?.. I remember seeing a sample in GotDotNet
web page or in CodeProject, not sure. You can chk both

Try setting visibility of notifyicon to false and then immediately to true.

notifyIcon1.Visible = false;
notifyIcon1.Visible = true;
