Re: VS2008 - Balloon tooltip does not appear

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have tried but it does not change anything. It must be sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA) as Shell32.dll version is 6.0 on XP and Vista.

I have written a small app that simply displays an icon in the status area with a balloon tooltip. When I build it avec VS2005 it works like a charm on XP/Vista. However, it behaves strangely when it is built with VS2008: works perfectly on Vista but on XP the balloon tooltip does not appear (the icon does) - cannot figure out why. Any idea?

Initialize cbSize with NOTIFYICONDATA_V2_SIZE or NOTIFYICONDATA_V3_SIZE instead of sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA).
