search the forum, there is a tooltip ballon dll posted by worm, system tray ballon tips dll,exe posted by myself and other users, worms PopupNotify plugin can make the msn type popup and my splash transition engine can do this also, there are also many other ways to achive what you want


look at this thread, read through all of it as there are many versions of the same thing

there are lots of tooltip examples on the PB forum, problem is most of them are for PB 3.xx, i cant find one for PB 4.XX so one will need to be translated

you could try the Droopy Lib, i know it used to have a some tooltip functions and i do know there is a version for PB 4.XX,

or you could get down n dirty and code ya own useing the "Shell_NotifyIcon" API function

as tooltips are not guaranteed to work on all systems due to settings etc, i tend not to use them, i opt for a more reliable method.
