Option Tipevent:
===========
This option may help in showing custom tips like the one:
http://forum.vdsworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=2038
OR even Owner drawn Balloon tips etc.
Currently it is possible for items having mouseover style but needs using timers.

I have looked into some Owner drawn ones in VB but still am not sucessful in making a VDS interface. Hope I will be able to do so in near future.IMHO Even the winhelp popups (above) look OK I think.

Yes, but with my predilection for system tray apps balloon tips would look more attractive.

Is there a way to retrieve the ID of the tray icon control
Every tooltip API need this value but GetDlgCtrlIDreturns just the HWND we provide.
Of course owner drawn Balloon would work on win 9x too.
I tried one such(class based on MFC) which works in general to popup Balloon anywhere with lot of options but I am not good at C++ the call to dll ultimately has to be a stdcall from VDS so interfacing at this point .. difficult for me. Someone good at C++/delphi can give a try. There may be a lot of freeware Delphi components.

int GetDlgCtrlID(
HWND hwndCtl // handle of control
); |

CreateWindowEx, I fear it is very difficult that way as you need to do everything manually and the structures can go too complex. There will be *no way* to determine the position of taskicon where U need to position/anchor the balloon.
I was talking about Shell_NotifyIcon APi not an very easy task though.

Jules I have developed balloon tip code. I have an example on my website that uses VDS/Gadget to show balloon tool tips. To get the balloon tool tips you have to compile the code with VDS 3.51  Anyway the example you would want to look at is my Bassmod example on my website at http://dragonsphere.vdsworld.com/bassmodgadget.zip

everything and clicking everything.

FF, did you try to compile the example, or to run the precompiled EXE? Works nicely here when compiled.

I don't have VDS 3.1 -- all I have is VDS 4 and VDS 5 because I
didn't know about it until VDS 4

Aaaa, a newbie 
Then have a look in the /Comp3x subdir - there's a precompiled EXE there.

Oops missed it. Fabulous!  Why can't we use it in VDS 5?

I don't think any reason why something possible in VDS 3.x can't be possible in VDS 5.x may need some modifications.
I think mindpower wrote it for VDS 3 as it didn't have any tooltips unlike VDS4+

That is because VDS 4 and VDS 5 have tooltips and I wanted to really drive it home that you are not limited if you have Gadget
Anyway I did not write the VDS 4 code. That was donated by Marty:)
Well just to elaborate a little bit more the example could be easily made to work with VDS 4 & 5 but the original VDS 4.x code was donated by Marty and I am not the sort to change other peoples code without asking or giving that person the chance to update their code. I gave Marty the option to update it if he wanted too but I don't think he had the time at that time. Also at the time I only had VDS 3.51 so I could not compile VDS 4.x code. The VDS 4.x Exe was Marty's Exe and the Bitmap interface is Marty's bitmap. It's all about lic. and it was a collaboration between me and Marty.
