Hi,
I'm developing an IM application, in which i want to show a pop-up
window when ever a buddy changes his status( some thing similar to the
one in yahoo and jabber which show a pop-up window at the bottom-right
on the desktop when a user changes his state). I did'nt find any direct
way to do this. I can't use a messageBox because i can't display a
messagebox without any buttons on it and i've to close that messagebox
explicitly.

What actually i wan't is a pop-up window which gets displayed at one
corner on the PPC and disappears after few seconds. It should respond
to a user-click, i.e it should open a chat-window when ever the user
clicks on it.
Can any one tell me how i could do this. Do i need to download any
third party control for this, or is this available in CF. Any
suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Hari.
 
Hi Fabein,
Thanks for the suggestion. I had this idea. But the problem with
inheriting from Form class is that the pop-up that shows the status
change should not display anything( titlebar, inimize, maximize buttons
) other than the message. It should appear like a tooltip window, but
should respond to the user click. Is it possible to have the same,
deriving from Form. Plz help.
