Valik Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 (edited) Just to get the obvious out of the way... You are running this on Windows 2000 or later on a system that does have Balloon Tips enabled, correct? The example works fine for me.Edit: Typos (Fixed).

Insolence Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 (edited) Windows XP SP2 --NOT SURE about the ballon tip thing, I can hear it, but I don't see it... where do I enable/disable it?

Valik Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Does the helpfile example for TrayTip work correctly for you? I don't know where the option is. It may just be a registry setting exposed through 3rd party tweaking applications (Obviously, manually editing the proper key would have the same effect).

Insolence Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 None work. But, I DO hear the noise... very odd. "I thoroughly disapprove of duels.

lte5000 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Make sure you have all open windows minimized... then see if the TrayTip appears. Strange things happened already for me, like the TrayTip disappearing behind open windows. Kendall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valik Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Does this example play a sound: TrayTip("Test", "Test", 5, 16) Sleep(5000) ; 5 Seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insolence Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 I tried that, and no Thanks for your help, Valik, I appriciate it... is this a common problem?

Valik Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 No, I've never heard of anybody have a problem like this. And I'm out of ideas, so you're on your own, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insolence Posted October 16, 2004 Author Share Posted October 16, 2004 Could it possibly be that I'm running in Windows 98 style XP? "I thoroughly disapprove of duels.

CyberSlug Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 (edited) A Tray tip will close if the AutoIt tray icon disappears. Consequently, the TrayTip may not appear if AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1) is set or if the user has disabled balloon tips via registry settings!Check this registry setting Edited October 17, 2004 by CyberSlug Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

Insolence Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 It was 0, but after setting to 1, it still doesn't work. "I thoroughly disapprove of duels.

Valik Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Did you reboot or at least log-off and then back on? I think this setting requires that in order to take effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insolence Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 I'll try that. "I thoroughly disapprove of duels.

Matt @ MPCS Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 For some reason, the SP2 install disables the balloon popups. I was running XP SP1 on 4 boxes for a long time and recently updated Windows. This caused all my balloon popups to stop working. I don't think MS was very happy with people using their annoying little friend in their applications. And yes this does require a reboot. *** Matt @ MPCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valik Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Even more interesting is I have SP2 installed and it was never disabled on either of the two systems I installed it on. If Microsoft didn't want people to use it, they just wouldn't of documented it. They've done that stuff before. There are tons of little API secrets that people have discovered that Microsoft never revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt @ MPCS Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Did you upgrade to SP2 or use a streamline installation of Windows XP SP2? It is possible that if your PC came with SP2 or if you installed Windows with SP2 that whoever built the disk image changed the option on the disk, then not carrying over to your settings. Otherwise I can't explain it... all four of my machines had the problem while I was running my scripts right after updating. I know MS hides crap in their operating system, but most of the undocumented api's can be found on the internet. *** Matt @ MPCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valik Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I upgraded to SP2 by downloading the full redistributable version and using that to install on both (One is in a virtual machine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
