C++ CLI NotifyIcon Show Balloon

Question

C++/CLR Visual Studio

I am using a NotifyIcon which is initialized and is showed with the correct icon and text when I launch my application. But I want to display a Balloon to the user. This is however not showing up.

notIcon->BalloonTipText = "Test";
notIcon->BalloonTipTitle = "Test";
notIcon->BalloonTipIcon = ToolTipIcon::Info;
notIcon->ShowBalloonTip(10000);

I have this code on a button and when I click the button it does go to this I checked with breakpoints. Nothing is showing and I get no errors/warnings.

I also added a messagebox and breakpoint at the BalloonTipShown method of the control but it never hits it.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

There a boss override switch to tell Windows to *never* display a balloon tip. You probably have it turned on. Google "windows disable balloon tips" or ask at superuser.com — Hans Passant, Nov 22 '14 at 00:22
