TrayTip fades away fast

[Roshith]

Hi,

When I use traytip with timeout 20 secs, sometimes it stays for 20secs or more, but sometimes it fades away fast (less than 5 secs). What is the reason for this. Is there any work around.

TrayTip("Title", "Text", 20)

Sleep(30000)

Read carefully before you ask question.

timeout:

A rough estimate of the time (in seconds) the balloon tip should be displayed. (Windows has a min and max of about 10-30 seconds but does not always honor a time in that range.)

Roshith,

I had the same question last week...take a look at and you can see what suggestions were given, and how I resolved it.

Hope this helps,

Another idea is how about using by Melba23, it creates a small customisable GUI in the traymenu.

Thanks guinness, Toast.au3 is a good alternative for my purpose. Thanks to you and Melba23

You're welcome, the UDF is well written and very easy to implement.
