Hi, I try to show up a notification when an if statement is true, but it doesn't show up
also I checked the win 11 notification is something was on, but all things is off.
In case I can only create a custom one.

S.O = Win 11
Version of Visual Studio = 2022

What I have tried:

If n <= 3 AndAlso n >= 1 Then
NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(3000, "test", n & " is in the range", ToolTipIcon.None)
  End If

Sorry to ask, but do you have something like notifyIcon1.Visible = true; anywhere?

MXwell8 19-Jan-22 23:14pm

yea I was thinking also on that, I added it on form load but doesn't appear.

So you do see the notifyIcon (and your title isn't accurate)?

I've never used ShowBalloonTip, I use Text property to get a simple tooltip.

no the notification doesn't show. Oh, your right I read it now I'll fix it.
Also thanks for the tip.

Please make sure the creation and all operations on the notifyIcon occur from the GUI thread; if not, the strangest things can happen (or the most normal things might not).

Did you fix? IF yes, share the solution

I was testing various things as @Luc Pattyn said, I don't know what's happened, the notification worked, also I saw his solution, which seems good.
I want to thank you again Luc Pattyn for the solution :)

Solution 1

I tested this C# code snippet on Win 10:

C#

NotifyIcon ni = new NotifyIcon();
ni.Icon = SystemIcons.Exclamation;
ni.Visible = true;
ni.ShowBalloonTip(1000, "title", "text", ToolTipIcon.Error);

It shows a permanent notifyicon in the taskbar and a temporary balloontip in the notifications area.
Without setting visibility nothing shows. Without setting icon nothing shows.

Translation to VB.NET should be straightforward. I did not test on Win 11.

I've just tested it in Windows 11, and as expected, the behaviour is the same as you describe in Windows 10. :)

Thanks Richard.
