    Hello all I'm programming windows systray and want to put an icon in the sytray which can popup balloon tooltips. I'm using win2000 with visual studio6. The problem is the header file "shellapi.h" which I've seems like it doesn't support balloon tooltips. Here's the NOTIFYICONDATA structure I find in the hearder file typedef struct _NOTIFYICONDATAA { DWORD cbSize; HWND hWnd; UINT uID; UINT uFlags; UINT uCallbackMessage; HICON hIcon; CHAR szTip[64]; } NOTIFYICONDATAA, *PNOTIFYICONDATAA; This structure doesn't have the members like "szInfo" which has to be used to popup balloon tooltip. I refer to microsoft docs where it says version>5 is needed, when I check my shell32.dll version it shows as >5. Do I need to have new header file? If yes, where can I download from? Can any one help me? Many thanks for your help Hari.

      See the FAQ 2.2 I'm trying to call a Windows API, but the compiler gives an undeclared identifier error (C2065). Why?[^] --Mike-- Ericahist | CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | Homepage | 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt Laugh it up, fuzzball.
