Stupid NotifyIcon problem

This is really bothering me since it is one simple line of code. I am unable to show a balloon tip on either my Vista machine or my xp box. I have created a new program to simplify things. It has a form, one button and a notifyicon. On the click event, i have the following:


notifyicon1.ShowBalloonTip(3000,"Test","Is it working",ToolTipIcon.Info)

I see the notifyicon fine, but I never get the balloon tip. Anyone have any suggestions? This is driving me mad!!!

That is unusual. I use the exact same code and it works fine.
It's not something like your form is maximised and set as topmost and perhaps the balloon is being hidden? Bit of a longshot. Or there's a modal dialog?

I tried your code in the load event and the

tooltip showed only 1 time.

Adding the code to

NotifyIcon1.MouseMove

allowed it to repeat.

The notifyIcon.Text which shows on hover event

is almost the same as a tooltip, if you want to try that also.
