WHAT????????????

Your answer is a little bit a fending!!!

i NEVER meant to the tool tip bubble and i believe, that i made it perfectly clear...

i meant, to the windows massage bubble. the one that appears right after you plug in a new device, or right after you plug in/out the network cable...

anyway, thanks for your attention to my qewstion... it's nice to know that the forum is still alive.

come on guys....

can't some one give me a hand?

I think this is a good lesson for you on the forum. When I read your response, I was shocked. It's no wonder no one else had answered as of yet.

A little tip: don't be a ****.

[shariryaniv]

I'm sorry to read that you were offended / Shocked by my response. That wasn't my intension, please forgive me.

But it seams like when you really need an answer on an URGENT matter, you are considered with no significance, by the people who know the answers to your question, although you searched the forum before asking the question.

When I enter the forum, and I look at other questions, if I think, that maybe my answer could be wrong, I keep it to my self! So that the person who asked the question won't be lead in the wrong direction or be wasted of his time!

And when I write a question in this forum, i ALWAYS try to write it as clear and as correct as i can (although I'm not match of an English speaker), so the reader won't be wasted of his time or grasp the question in the wrong way! And more important is, that I search the forum fore the subject before writing the question!!!

Naturally I expect the same from the other readers!

So when I get an answer that's got nothing to do with my question, and more than that, the answer was the basics of visual basic, of course I'll be mad + offended…..

Now, can you help me with my first question that I posted instead of trying to educate me?
or should I search for it in other places? And if I'll search in other places, what's the use of this forum?

See this article on vbAccelerator. Most GUI functionality has been covered by Steve at some point!

First, another link you could follow on that subject:

and then:
A bit of comments to let everybody take an advantage from this small crash...

As per my knowledge of this forum, there is something that may be worth to
tell

I'm sorry to read that you were offended / Shocked by my response. That wasn't my intension, please forgive me.

Good. I appreciate everyone that is able to tell he/she did not mean to offend.
By the way, it is very rare that someone does want to offend, and usually
he/she does not live in Codeguru for long.

But it seams like when you really need an answer on an URGENT matter, you are considered with no significance, by the people who know the answers to your question

Do not be so sure everyone holds correct answers...for example: do you want a
list of my personal blunders?

When I enter the forum, and I look at other questions, if I think, that maybe my answer could be wrong, I keep it to my self! So that the person who asked the question won't be lead in the wrong direction or be wasted of his time!

Never occurred that you are quite sure to know the matter, and then discover
you misundestood the question or that there is a better answer? How
about giving out an aswer like "I think it could be..." .It might be out of
topic, but it might also be the suffcient push in the right direction...Software
developing is continuously developing itself (!) and we all have something to
learn quite every day

And when I write a question in this forum, i ALWAYS try to write it as clear and as correct as i can

Very good. That is more important than it could seem. Of course, something
depends also on the level of people you are writing to: it is different - about
being clear - if you are dealing with a junior or with a senior...An effort to be clear
is always welcome. But sometimes the different languages herearound have an
heavy effect...Not to speak about the hurry the most have...In any case, your question, for example, could be clear for you, but I thought immediately at tooltip
(of System, not of Vb) - more precisely, of traybar...Indeed, if you follow Dmorley link, you can read there:

 .ToolTip = "SysTray Sample!"

That is: it is implemented as a tooltip...You see? It seems as if we could never be really sure of questions, and never be really sure of answers...But we must act as
if, or we will never go anywhere

And more important is, that I search the forum fore the subject before writing the question

Very good. Matter however is the time, but often searching first
is the best way to start.

Naturally I expect the same from the other readers!

And this not always happens, as you have just found out.
Keep patience, and simply answer: "Thanks for the effort, but this does
not help me..."

So when I get an answer that's got nothing to do with my question, and more
than that, the answer was the basics of visual basic, of course I'll be mad + offended…..

get mad, ok
get offended not ok: as I wrote a bit above, it is really rare that soemone
gives you a wrong-unexpected answer by will. Usually it is a mistake due to
too few knowledge of what is happening and who are you, or it is a true
misunderstand on the question.

Be patiente, everybody, and always do your best.

can you cut most of them out.. my laptop only has 1.5gb free on the hard disk and i do not want it to crash downloading the list..
