I am trying to make a small system tray program with only a context menu as its GUI.
However, I cannot get the tooltip to work. I properly setup NOTIFYICONDATA's szTip and everything else seems to work...what is preventing the tooltip from showing on mouseover?
void main()
{
int result;
hinst = GetModuleHandle( NULL );
memset( &wnd, 0, sizeof( wnd ) );
wnd.cbSize = sizeof( wnd );
wnd.lpszClassName = "MainWClass";
wnd.lpfnWndProc = MainWProc;
wnd.hInstance = hinst;
result = RegisterClassEx( &wnd );
hwnd = CreateWindowEx
(
0, //extended styles
wnd.lpszClassName, //class name
"Main Window", //window name
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_HSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL | WS_MINIMIZEBOX, //style tags
CW_USEDEFAULT, //horizontal position
CW_USEDEFAULT, //vertical position
CW_USEDEFAULT, //width
CW_USEDEFAULT, //height
(HWND) NULL, //parent window
(HMENU) NULL, //class menu
(HINSTANCE) wnd.hInstance, //some HINSTANCE pointer
NULL //Create Window Data?
);
nid.cbSize = sizeof( nid );
nid.hWnd = hwnd;
nid.uID = 1;
nid.uVersion = NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4;
nid.uCallbackMessage = WM_CONTEXTMENU;
nid.hIcon = LoadIcon( hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDI_ICON1 ) );
strcpy( nid.szTip, "My Tooltip!" );
nid.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_ICON | NIF_TIP;
if( ! Shell_NotifyIcon( NIM_ADD, &nid ) )
{
printf("Shell_NotifyIcon( NIM_ADD, &nid ) failed.\r\n");
Sleep( INFINITE );
}
if( ! Shell_NotifyIcon( NIM_SETVERSION, &nid ) )
{
printf("Shell_NotifyIcon( NIM_SETVERSION, &nid ) failed.\r\n");
Sleep( INFINITE );
}
UpdateWindow( hwnd );
while( true )
{
//Dispatch for main window
if( PeekMessage( &msg, hwnd, NULL, NULL, PM_REMOVE ) )
{
DispatchMessage( &msg );
}
}
}
try adding the NIF_SHOWTIP
flag, according to MSDN, NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4
requires that the tooltip be userdrawn.
