| Hi! I was wondering if there was a way you program Blitz to: a) Have a system tray icon b) Display a balloon tip as seen in Windows XP/2000 Any help would be great Cheers Seb |

| Well, i sometimes try to emulate rather wastefull balloon tips with borderless tool child windows that are either generated, always there, just hidden and revealed at users input, or just using one that is dimensioned, hidden and redrawn (basically texting onto the small windows canvas) to fit the current balloon call (i produce a list of balloon regions which each have their rectangle of mouse generation relative to the parent windows gadget coordinates, as well as having strings for what they say, and dimensions for the window, (and color and textcolor and font), and check for mouse coordinates being acceptable for setting the hidden balloon window to appear over at the intersected baloon rectangle. .......nothing i know of for official creation..sorry. |
