Hi all, I'm playing with NotifyIcon with Balloon tooltips. (Win32::GUI version 1.05) Is there a way to display the balloon when the mouse is hovering over the NotifyIcon? (like how the -tip text is displayed, except in a balloon)The only way that I can figure out is to use the MouseEvent event. But that fires every time that the mouse is moved (or clicked), so there would have to be a timer to track if the balloon is displayed (unless there is a method to check if the balloon is already displayed.)
I can't think of a good way to achieve what you want, especially as you're not guaranteed that a balloon will display immediately that you ask for it: if another app has a balloon displayed, then your request gets queued by the OS, until it takes down the earlier balloon.
