how in .net i handle a click over a balloon tip, displayed through ShowBalloonTip of a TrayIcon

Question

I use ShowBalloonTip method of a TrayIcon class to display a balloon tip. Is there a way to handle a click over this balloon? When i click over the balloon no event seem to be generated, and it only closes the balloon.

Answer 1

I think you mean NotifyIcon . Use following pattern...

NotifyIcon notifyIcon = null;
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    notifyIcon = new NotifyIcon();
    // Initializing notifyIcon here...
    notifyIcon.BalloonTipClicked += new EventHandler(notifyIcon_BalloonTipClicked);
}

void notifyIcon_BalloonTipClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Operation you want...
}

I hope it feed your needs...

Answer 2

Have you tried the following snippet? I managed to find it whilst doing a quick google search:

private void TrayNotifyIcon_BalloonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Perform Action
}

Obviously you'll need to make sure you specify the correct name in the method signature for your own application.

I think this was written in an older version of the .Net Framework and there's probably a newly named method for it.
