You have to set the version.

ndata.uVersion=NOTIFYICON_VERSION;
Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_SETVERSION, &nData);

... no effect. setting the version didn't fix it :(

Where did you do it. Note: uTimeout and uVersion is wrapped inside a union so you must be careful. Both cannot be used at once.

right after ndata.cbSize = sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA);

No you are wrong. First set the icon:

Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &ndata);

Then the set the version:

ndata.uVersion = NOTIFYICON_VERSION;
Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_SETVERSION, &ndata);

The reason being that you cannot use both uVersion and uTimeout together since they are wrapped inside a union.

The code that you gave is working here, with the following modifications... _tcscpy(ndata.szInfoTitle,_T("Test")); _tcscpy(ndata.szInfo, _T("Test"));

ok here's my new code: ZeroMemory(&ndata, sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA)); ndata.cbSize = sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA); ndata.hWnd = m_hWnd; ndata.uFlags = NIF_ICON | NIF_MESSAGE; ndata.uID = IDI_DISABLED; ndata.uCallbackMessage = WM_POPUP; ndata.hIcon = (HICON) LoadImage(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_DISABLED), IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR); Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &ndata); ndata.uVersion = NOTIFYICON_VERSION; Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_SETVERSION, &ndata); ndata.uTimeout = 10000; ndata.uFlags |= NIF_INFO; _tcscpy(ndata.szInfoTitle,_T("Test")); _tcscpy(ndata.szInfo, _T("Test")); Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_MODIFY, &ndata); but still no balloon :wtf:

You don't need to modify anything .... Yeah Because szInfo is TCHAR and szInfoTitle is also TCHAR so you must use _tcscpy to copy strings... You can use the original code with the modifications that I told. i.e. Replace wcscpy with _tcscpy

I did set the IE version to 0x0500

#define _WIN32_IE 0x0500

ndata.cbSize=sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA);
ndata.hWnd = m_hWnd;
ndata.uFlags = NIF_ICON | NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_INFO;
ndata.uID = 123;
ndata.dwInfoFlags = NIIF_ERROR;

ndata.hIcon = (HICON) LoadImage(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MAINFRAME), IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR); 

ndata.uCallbackMessage = 0;
ndata.uTimeout = 10000;

_tcscpy(ndata.szInfoTitle,_T("Test"));
_tcscpy(ndata.szInfo, _T("Test")); 

Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &ndata);

This works...
