hi,

Is there a way to popup the balloon notifications from the systray
which are so common in xp (e.g., windows messenger, usb device plug in,
microsoft antispyware, etc)? I have found several ways of doing it
using MFC and/or Win32 API on codeproject.com, but I am using .NET for
this project.

Thanks.
 
Actually, I hadn't found that article on codeproject. But, according
to the author, it uses quite a few hacks. I'm afraid the ClassName
would change with a new version of the framework. Are there any other
..NET solutions for this?
 
There actually is a better way listed in the discussion on that board
(under 'better way') (i.e., using reflection to determine the Handle of
the notify icon), but even it, according to the follow-up from the
original author, has some risks (which I don't exactly understand).
(something about using private fields and guessing the id of the icon
(both of which I don't actually see, can you clarify if you see
these??)).
