Okay I know this may sound like a newb question, but I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why this code won't work.
NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(5000, "title", "text", ToolTipIcon.Info)
That code should show a balloon notification from an icon in the system tray right? It will show my icon in the system tray but it will not show the balloon tip for some reason. I have used the notify icon in the past but for some reason it is not working.
I am using Visual Basic 2012 with .NET Framework 4 Client Profile as the target framework any ideas on why this is not working would be greatly appreciated.
I have already checked my registry and it is set to show balloon tips too so I really have no idea now.

I have made my VB.NET program installer, the operations with the database works very well, but a new problem presented:
On the computer where I developed the program, resolutions of my forms are excellent as I set, I install the same program on another computer in my house... and this happends
The image on the left , is the computer where I Tested... And the image on the right, is the computed where i develop the program.
I cant see the "Hide window" button on the left... (All forms of my program have this issue)
How I can fix this? :O
The solution of this problem, was playing with the dock property! Thank you Chase Rocker for your help.

I just had a really weird thing happening on the application I'm developing.
Everything was doing well until, suddenly, I can't do any change on my form.
If I modify something in my form, a button text for example, it appears with the new name in the designer but if I start the application it runs with the previous version of the text in the button. I tried modifying a lot of things, position, text, color, really messing up my design but when I start it I don't see any change... I even tried to change things from the code (change button text on form load) but still no change... I try shutting down and restart the PC, no better luck...
I probably have touched something somewhere that cause this problem but I do not know what and this turns me nuts...
Other apps I made before are still running perfectly and running with new content if I edit their design form.
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot.

I've been searching it for hours and the only thing I can find is how I can make a .NET app flashing/blinking on taskbar.
I want to be notified when an application is flashing on taskbar.. Is that possible?
Thanks
Sorry for the delay.
Maybe my question was not clear enough but this code that I showed to you it's what I want and more. When an app starts flashing on taskbar it notifies you adding an item on the listbox.

Thanks for helping.
I have written a VB application in VS2010. When I try to record its operation for a demo video with Windows Media Encoder x64 or Apowersoft free screen recorder, I get a recording of everything on the desktop except my application. It's like the application is invisible to the recorder. It has worked in the past (2 weeks ago). It must be something I have done but I'm baffled. Is there a "feature" in VB that can prevent you from recording the Form?
BTW, a still screen capture works fine and sub forms I bring up are captured. Only the main form is invisible to the recorder.
Thank you for your help and time.
Not a VS or VB problem after all. What I found was that windows 7 was switching me from Aero Theme to Windows 7 Basic. The message that showed up was that I was low on display memory. (A quick pop-up in the bottom right corner that I was ignored during the recording). However, I have 4.75 G of display memory?
BTW on a video conf call it produced the same invisibility "feature" until I found the Theme switch.
I haven't actually fixed anything but now know to watch for the tell tale screen blink as it switches mode. I pause the recording, and switch it back before restarting the recording. Got through the recordings I needed for now. I was using MS Media Encoder. I have now replaced it with Adobe Premier elements but haven't tried it yet to see if I still have the problem. Need to get the "how to" videos out the door first.
Thanks again. I have read many of your Answers to others in the past that have helped me solve numerous other VB and VS problems.

That's weird since it's recording forms from the application and not other forms (main form) from the same application.
Make sure you run the recorder as administrator and not the application.
The new Firefox versions do not have the regular menus anymore.
Instead the menu can be reached by clicking the orange button which is somehow integrated into the form's controlbar. This saves some space on the client area.
I would like to do the same with VB.NET and WinForms.
Could anybody please tell me
a) what this is called? I did not find any information on this on Google, perhaps because I just didn't find the right term.
b) Perhaps a starting point on how to do this?
Thank you very much.
