tq. This is my first time using this forum. Please advise if I am doing anything wrong.

1) Read the FAQ's you will see how to use the formatting correctly for different languages.
2) if you want to reply to a specific comment, hover over that comment and click the reply comment instead of using an Add Comment, this way the user you are replying to will get an email notification of the comment being posted so they can review and respond if required.
3) If you expect to get into a lengthy debate about a subject Don't use Q&A's find a relevant forum and post there instead.

Solution 1

The timeout may be too small. Change that from 5 milliseconds to at least 5000 (5 seconds).

HiAre you saying change :-

NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(5)--> 5000?
I did but nothing happen upon clicking the notification balloon. Or I did something wrong?

Nish Nishant 15-Feb-11 13:44pm

There's nothing in the code you posted that shows what's wrong. I quickly put together a simple project, added a notifyicon control, and the event fires fine (and I get the event handler to execute too).

Nish Nishant 15-Feb-11 13:45pm

Put a breakpoint in the event handler and see if it hits. Perhaps your form show is failing for some reason.

Hi Nishant,

I have set breakpoint, It hit the ddHandler NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipClicked, AddressOf NotifyIcon1_BalloonTipClicked until NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(5) .. Then notification balloon pop up. Even I click the notification balloon, nothing happen.
Based on your comments, can you give me some example?

Nish Nishant 15-Feb-11 13:59pm

I meant can you put a breakpoint inside the handler? On the line where frmQuestionnaire.Show is called.

Just an FYI, but it appears that you've double hooked the BalloonTipClicked event. If you added NotifyIcon1 to your form through the designer and haven't reset it anywhere, then by writing Handles NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipClicked in

VB

Private Sub NotifyIcon1_BalloonTipClicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipClicked

you've already added the handler, and you don't need to write AddHandler .... Do one or the other, but not both.

And, I would say the same thing as Nishant...put a breakpoint at frmQuestionnaire.Show and see if it ever hits the breakpoint.

Also as an FYI, but your tooltip text doesn't make any sense. Why do you tell them to complete a section, double-click (where to double-click you didn't say) and then click the notification? Where does it ever say they should click the balloon?

Hi William,

I try to remove addhandler but error occurs

For the text message it is not the one that I currently used. The new one will only saying click the balloon. Tq for your advise anyway

I know this codes suppose to work as I try it in other new form But it's not working with mine. I really hope you guys can help me upon this matter. When I set the breakpoint, yes it go into the form(Frmquestionnaire).

I detect this:_

It unable to show/pop up because i use this Me.MdiParent = frmmain in my Frmquestionnaire.
me = Frmquestionnaire
If I remove it, then I can show the form however, The form will look weired without the borders.

Private Sub frmQuestionnaire_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
     Me.MdiParent = frmmain

    ListView1.HideSelection = False ' ADD 14/02/11
    ListView1.Items.Clear() ' ADD 11/02/11

    Me.UpdateListView()

End Sub

Is there any way to solve this?

Please advise me

Thank you
