I have been working with NotifyIcon in order to show an icon in the taskbar. This program has no Windows Form. I perhaps could create one and make it invisible but I was hoping to avoid it. The ToolTip functions attached to NotifyIcon are somewhat lacking, and one of the gurus here suggested I look at the ToolTip functionality. It is possible to attach ToolTip to a form. Is is possible to attach it to just the NotifyIcon? I'm trying do this:
NotifyIcon CTicon = new NotifyIcon();
ToolTip toolTip = new ToolTip();
toolTip.SetToolTip(CTicon, "Test");
And I get the error "cannot convert from 'System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon' to 'System.Windows.Forms.Control'. Is there a way to convert? I also tried:
toolTip.SetToolTip(CTicon.Container, "Test");
but a container is apparently not a valid control either. I apologize for my total lack of understanding of how this may or may not work.
Thanks in advance.
