Small balloon/box appear near nofityicon

Question

I once have noticied when my Adobe Reader was updating, I saw a small balloon like it always has been. But then I wondered how I could make one of my own balloon/box/border things near my notifyicon. In XAML, I need a small ballon/box/border to appear near a notifyicon.

Answer 1

You can use NotifyIcon to set up baloon tips. But if you want something which looks a bit cooler check out http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/wpf_notifyicon.aspx. Looking at the screenshots there you should do that for sure.
