Is there simple code to show balloon notification for C++?
I'm using Visual Studio 2010.

    Keep in mind that C++ is a language, not an OS, so it doesn't have any standard way of doing this. (In other words, the "system" part means you need to specify which system you want the system-specific code for.) – GManNickG Feb 02 '11 at 10:06

    Did you read anything I wrote? **C++ has no "system".** – GManNickG Feb 04 '11 at 00:06

Check here and here. In general Google rules if you know the right words (system tray is not called "tray" -- it's "system notification area")

  • What should I do if I want to show balloon popup for existent tray icon? All I need is just implement balloon popup. My tray icon is already implemented. – Almas Adilbek Feb 03 '11 at 06:07
  • @Almas In Delphi there are several components that let you show tray hint near the icon. I guess there are similar libraries for C++ but I am not aware. The idea is simple -- create a window and position it near tray (remember that taskbar can be located not only at the bottom of desktop). Absolutely nothing fancy. – Eugene Mayevski 'Callback Feb 03 '11 at 10:16
