[RESOLVED] Balloon ToolTip Click Help

[feneck]

Pretty basic question, but i cant seem to find an answer...

What is the code to detect when the user clicks on the ToolTip.

(What i am trying to do is change a registry value when the user clicks on the tooltip so that my program knows not to show the tooltip again)

Thanks

It is far from a basic question and I'm not surprised you haven't found an answer. I've never, ever seen any examples of this.

I know that with standard VB tooltips you won't be able to get any thing out of clicking them, but there could be, somewhere out there, a third party tooltip control that offers this feature.

I tried Google before posting this an came up with the same thing you did......zilch.

Darn, it has to be possible though? Other programs have like a tooltip that says "<name> is still running, Click here to not show this reminder again"????

anyone else have any ideas? or maybe a work around, lol?

Tool tips? Not possible that I know of; at least no examples I have ever seen & would require lots and lots of trial & error to accomplish

Balloons?
It is very possible and requires subclassing. Some extra messages are even available for XP & above. Here is a link that has sample code you can play with. There are several example links, find the one that suits your needs.

THANKYOU so much LaVolpe!!! I got it... I took some of the code from that module and edited the one I had, its all good now.

If anyone would like the code or wants to know how i did it, just ask...

I've had some requests for the code I have used.

So today I slapped up a demo for everyone.

Just a quick look I see theres a few things you can improve.

1, Remove the ballon/tray on form unload event, Not from a button, if you (X) exit the program the tray is still there!

2. Never use the "END" command to exit a program!

3. The Mouse_move code is using x/Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, so it only works correctly if the forms scalemode = Twips.

This wasn't really designed to be perfect. I already knew of 1 & 2, as for 3, I didn't even think of.

Thanks for the help. I probably wont get around to fixing it any time soon though.
