How can I show a custom icon when showing a balloon tip?

I use the System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon class in order to show my notify icon.

Are there any other .NET NotifyIcon classes which support custom balloon tip icons?

maybe:
System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip tTip = new ToolTip();
tTip.IsBalloon = true;

?

The ToolTip class does not provide a property for setting as custom icon.

This is the way it should look like: http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/stwerk/House-Net/8021X/en/W7/screenshots/Es_werden_weitere_Informationen_benoetigt.png

There are predefined Icons such as:

notifyIcon1.BalloonTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Warning;

But if you need a custom Icon I think you have to write a class that inherit the NotifyIcon Class

The NotifyIcon class is sealed. Therefore it is not possible to inherit from it.

You may use WPF Interop (if possible) to leverage the ability to customize the balloon icon. I've not tried this before, it's just a suggestion
