Dont you love the fishing here in Nth Queensland, Australia? 48kg Blue Marlin, unfortunately I had to play photographer on this particular fish :o) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I'm in melbourne but |)amm i love queensland... i went scuba diving in cairns a few years back and that was a day to remember! ever since i've been trying to get back to scuba diving as a hobby! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
i got distracted by your message... anyhow heres a cool thing to try: click on the 'Show popup message' about 20 times... look at the things going up and down... 5 globes! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
EXCELLENT! I have been waiting for ages for someone to submit excellent code like this! 5 globes from me (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great code. Just a little trick (if you don't know it). Instead of doing this: Dim objPlugin as object and then Createobject, you can add a reference to your popup project (if it's loaded in any instance of VB on the same machine), you will be able to dim objPlugin as popup.displaymsg and this will enable the listing of the parameters of the methods while coding.
5 globes for you! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
You should use DuplicateIcon API to make the icon to copy windows icon. Look, your icon don't have Windows XP shadow!!!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Very nice. One error that everybody makes with those 'MSN Popup' windows though; being that the window should NOT take focus from any application (including the host). Taking that into account, the alert window must also appear on top of all other windows. There is API available in the Windows kernel for that, and there are many examples outlining how to use them :) Oh, and you are also meant to manage the free space on the screen better (ie, every new popup should display as close to the starting position\taskbar as possible). Kind Regards, Matt Hall. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Very great code, but how would I package this for use with another program on another computer? I don't want to inlcude the VB Project file, and I'm having trouble trying to call it from a DLL (even after it is registered and in the system32 directory). Ideas? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Mate, that is a very tidy piece of work. I can already think of a couple of projects which will be enhanced by these popups! Great work fellow Qld'er, although you are a few miles north of me. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I know it's probably a bit late but there is a GDI leak in the balloon popup code which after you open and close a considerable amount of balloons (about 100+) and not restart the application it completely uses up all gdi resources and crashes the app. My workaround has been this : In formballoon
I Agree With Jason Newland. 'excellent code, just what i was looking for for a notification to the user in a "friendly way"'
As I no longer can use Office Assistant in office 2007 I would like to replace that code with a variant of this code. I therefore tried to Expand its possibilities to : 1 use it like Office assistant using 5 checkboxes and 5 Labels 2 Add Default input values
But now I receive an error 373(This interaction between compiled and design environment components is not supported.) when I run it as plugin.
Any idee What's the reason? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
