Shell_NotifyIcon with NIF_INFO

I made this new thread as I have now with my new code. This time its much simpler and smaller but the Balloon is still not working.

Code:

---

void CTrayIcon::SetTrayIcon (HWND hWnd)
{
        vi.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO);
        GetVersionEx(&vi);
       
        if (vi.dwMajorVersion >= 6)        {
                nid.cbSize = sizeof(nid);
                nid.uVersion = NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4;
        }

        else if (vi.dwMajorVersion >= 5)        {
                nid.cbSize = NOTIFYICONDATA_V2_SIZE;
                nid.uVersion = NOTIFYICON_VERSION;
        }

        Shell_NotifyIcon (NIM_SETVERSION, &nid);

        nid.hWnd = hWnd;
        nid.uID = 0;
        nid.uCallbackMessage = NIF_MSG;
        nid.hIcon = ::LoadIcon(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_GBICO));
        nid.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_ICON | NIF_TIP;
        wcscpy_s(nid.szTip, sizeof(nid.szTip), L"myAppName");
       
        Shell_NotifyIcon (NIM_ADD, &nid);
}


void CTrayIcon::ShowBalloon (LPCTSTR szInfo)
{
        nid.uFlags = NIF_INFO;
        nid.dwInfoFlags = NIIF_NONE;

        wcscpy_s(nid.szInfo, sizeof(nid.szInfo), szInfo);
        wcscpy_s(nid.szInfoTitle, sizeof(nid.szInfoTitle), L"myAppName");

        Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_MODIFY, &nid);
}

ShowBalloon (L"Balloon Tip shown");  //Not working.

Wouldn't you like to change this red line to

Code:

---

        nid.uFlags |= NIF_INFO;

Still same, not working.

How about NOTIFYICONDATA Structure?

I cant understand whats wrong in my code

in what system (2000, XP, Vista, ...) do you have this problem?
Did you read about NOTIFYICONDATA Structure?

Im using Xp.

Im digging up this old thread as this is related to TrayIcon again with same code.

When Im building a Debug version of my application im getting a NIIF_ERROR icon in the Balloon tip though I have set value NIIF_NONE to dwInfoFlags.

ie:
nid.dwInfoFlags = NIIF_NONE;

but if I build a release version its fine.

Either the code is NOT the same as you posted or there is not such a line there.

Please, post your actual code . :rolleyes:

I have updated the code with my actual one.. please check my 1st post

Any fixes ?

This question was asked and answered about a week ago. Search this forum for "Shell_NotifyIcon".

No, that thread was about creating Tray icon with balloon, and this problem is regarding balloon icon ie: nid.dwInfoFlags = NIIF_NONE in debug build.

Please have a look on my 5th post..

Okay. Start with the code and project and ONLY change dwInfoFlags param to NIIF_NONE.

Change no other code in the sample and see how it behaves.

If it works as expected, compare the differences between the sample code and your code.

Sample code?. Are you talking about trying with my code in a new project ?.

I tried that also, but same. In debug build the balloon shows a error icon while in release build its showing me correct icon what Im setting.

No, I'm talking about using the code from the other link in a new project. Actually, I'm talking about loading the other project and see if you get the same behavior.
