title: ShowBalloonTip-example for Visual Studio 2010 C++
body: <p>I want to show a ToolTip (BalloonTip) for an existing icon in the notification area of the task bar (sometime called "SystemTray" or "Info Tray").
  So there is this method in the MSDN <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ms160065%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&amp;cs-lang=cpp#code-snippet-1" rel="nofollow">NotifyIcon::ShowBalloonTip Method (Int32, String, String, ToolTipIcon)</a>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public:
  void ShowBalloonTip(
      int timeout, 
      String^ tipTitle, 
      String^ tipText, 
      ToolTipIcon tipIcon
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Displays a balloon tip with the specified title, text, and icon in the
    taskbar for the specified time period.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I think this is exactly what I need, but there is no example for C++ and I don't find any short and clear example in the internet.
  Only for C# or VB.NET, but not for VS 2010 C++</p>
  
  <p>Could somebody give me as a VS C++ beginner some short snippet or example how to use this method in the code?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
