Notification API - C# Source

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

We have written recently a simple API for notifications in tray area. Probably you have seen notifications from Thunderbird or Gmail notifier. They appear in system clock area only if the task bar in its default state.

Things go wrong if a user decides to customize the taskbar location.

There are two ways to solve this problem (included in the attachment):

1. Use tray icon. The main problem is a large system timeout to close the
tooltip. We found a solution and with the help of this code a developer can
close baloon tooltips at any time.

2. Use included TaskBar API to determine the location of the taskbar and
the edge the task bar is docked to.
