Hi,

i've got a Problem, i need to display a small window with some information next to the Notification area in Windows 7 like here: [click]

Does anyone knows how to show such a Flyout in c# ?
Is there an API or something else?

I already tried to customize a Form, but it does not look similar :(

thanks
Martin

The Windows API code pack has most of the new Windows 7 features wrapped up:

It does not specifically mention task tray flyouts, but I'd be surprised if they left that one out. Worth a look.
