It is possible (depending on what you call "balloon"). Now, what is you contribution?

No form, but a link to a form is possible.
It would need a little script attached to the balloon event, use whatever language you are comfortable with.

A mouseover event would open the 'balloon' and a call on a click event to open the form.

My 5 - while possible, I guess it's far beyond OPs level.
You have to play with the style bits - it's a trick often deployed by delphi developers back in the days of version 1.0. You had to split complicated forms into multiple forms bacause of some 16 bit Windows limitations - You then assembled them back into a single form by modifying the style bits and setting it's parent.

If you mean balloon popups from a notification icon the answer is no.
But that is only with the build in features.

I would make a nice looking form and then attach evenhandlers to the event of the balloon show. Close the balloon and replace it with my form. If I had some more time I would make the form independent from the balloon.
