WorknMan Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hi all, We recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 at work, and I noticed that none of my AutoIt scripts that were using TrayTip would display their balloon notifications. After trying to resolve this on my own without any success, I finally escalated it to our IT dept, who let me know that there's a 'global' policy in place that disables balloon tips on ALL machines, and cannot be undone So I'm wondering if there are any workarounds for this? Maybe an alternate way to display a balloon notification that doesn't use the standard API? A lot of my scripts are 'background' processes that need to display status notifications and other info to the user from time to time, without throwing a message box in their face. One idea was to use a tooltip, but that only works when you hover your mouse over the tray icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
