What if you remove
NIF_STATE?

If it's a unicode build then yes, there's something wrong with that line :) I would recommend NOT using casts unless you need to. Write code without the casts. If the compiler complains, then investigate why. For a Unicode build, that line should be something like: // Unicode only ::wcscpy(notifyData.szTip, L"hello"); or better yet // generic _tcscpy(notifyData.szTip, _T("hello")); If this is indeed the problem, had you omitted the casts to char*, the compiler would have let you know.

You're welcome :) Also check out DavidCrow's reply...you are using a flag that indicates members of the struct are valid but you didn't show those members being initialized. Cheers, Mark
