I can hear the sound when I click Button1_Click, and I can see the "Done" msg box, but I never see the balloon on the screen.I've made sure I set NotifyIcon1 to visible. Does anyone know why this function won't show the balloon?

Here is what I have in my windows form. VS.NET 2005, .NET FWK 2.0, WIN XP PRO SP2.

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click

Me.NotifyIcon1.Visible = True

Me.NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(1000, "test", "test boollon", ToolTipIcon.Info)

MsgBox("done")

End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

End Sub

End Class

This is because to show the BallonTip, needs a Icon that is showed in the taskbar notification.

Try this for example:
