Hi,

Displaying balloon tips in tray is easy. This is the fragment of
my code, and I copy/past-ed it without changes. You have to
remove some parts, to adjust your needs:

I will just add some comments now to make it easier to you to understand...

      if ( Tray == 1 ) // <-- If I configurably want my app to be in tray
      {
         AddIcon(); // <--Here you must have a code to add a tray icon
         IsIconPresent = true; // <-- Simple way to know is my icon in tray


         if ( Tips ) // <-- if I want tips
         {
            NOTIFYICONDATA IconData;
            IconData.cbSize = sizeof( NOTIFYICONDATA );
            IconData.uID    = IDC_SER_BALLOON_DISMALL;
            IconData.hWnd   = Handle;
            IconData.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE|NIF_ICON|NIF_TIP;
            IconData.uCallbackMessage = WM_TRAYNOTIFY;
            // X() is my custom function to return a simple AnsiString. You 
should use just "Some title"
            lstrcpy( IconData.szTip, 
X(IDS_SER_MAIN_APPLICATION_TITLE).c_str() );
            IconData.hIcon  = TrayIcon->Handle;

            // SKIP THIS. It's just a mechanism to display different tip of 
the day, every day
            long number = DayOfTheYear( Now() );
            long position = 0;

            long AFrom = IDS_SER_MAIN_TIPS_01;
            long ATo   = IDS_SER_MAIN_TIPS_29;

            long module = ( ( ATo - AFrom ) / 2 ) + 1;

            ++position;

            long to_show = ( number + position ) % module;

            AnsiString Caption = X(IDS_SER_MAIN_HELPTIPOFTHEDAY);
            AnsiString Body = X( to_show * 2 + AFrom );
            //  SKIP TILL THIS LINE

            IconData.dwInfoFlags = NIIF_INFO;
            //IconData.dwInfoFlags = NIF_TIP;

            IconData.uFlags = NIF_INFO;
            IconData.uTimeout = 15000;
            StrLCopy( IconData.szInfo, Body.c_str(), 255 );
            StrLCopy( IconData.szInfoTitle, Caption.c_str(), 63 );
            Shell_NotifyIcon( NIM_MODIFY, &IconData );
         }
      }
      else
      {
         IsIconPresent = false;
      }
