In MSN, we have a nice notify icon sit at the right hand side of the tool
bar. When new message comes, it will have a nice small window displayed near
the notify icon.

I also want to do this in my application. Since I don't know if VS.net has
this control pluged in, I am going to "hard code" it.

However, I got the following problem:

I want to display the window near the notify icon, but how can I find the
exact location of the notify icon.

Anyone can help?

Thanks in advance,

Kai

Thanks Herfried,

The first link is quite helpful! I was looking for this for a while.

BTW, the second link is a 404 link.

Hi,

Also take a look at the vb power pack's notification control.
