[2005] BalloonTip external tray icon

[scriptman]

Hi! I'd like to know how to display a balloon tip, (or just change the tooltip) of another tray icon that doesn't belong to my application. I'm using vb.net and I'm very stuck - I'd really appreciate some help thanks

Affecting other applications almost always means using the Windows API, and your request is an obscure one. You'd be better off having this thread moved to the API forum where the API gurus hang out. Once you established which functions to use then it's just a matter of declaring them in your VB.NET code and calling them with the appropriate arguments.

Can I move it myself or is that not possible? =/

It requires a moderator. Send a PM to the moderator of this and/or the API forum. Please don't just double post though. You may yet get an answer here, but I'd say that your chances are better there. As I said, once you know the required functions you can post back here to get the specific VB code to implement them if required.
