jb3rry Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Is it possible to change the information in the default Bubbles?For example the information bubble that pops up after you connect or disconnect you network cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel Straty Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Maybe so, if you alter some DLLs or EXEs that have the bubbles information in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcardlej Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 This sounds interesting, does anyone have any more information??Would be good to somehow invoke the bubbles from scripts as well??, This would be pretty handy in a large/medium corporate environment.

You could make a app that would do just that in whatever programming of your choice, it's actually not that hard (although you'll most likely have to use SubClassing, and use the Shell_NotifyIcon API).

mcardlej Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Sounds good, but i'm no programming expert, i've had a quick look around the web for a tutorial/FAQ but can't seem to come up with anything.Any links that may come in handy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Unfortunately, I don't. It's not like a batchfile or something like that one can learn in 5 minutes either. Handling WM_'s can be tricky at times (subclassing in general), and lots of times your app will crash when debugging (because of the hooks). You also need the general knowledge of making API calls... It's not extremely complicated but it might not be a 5 minute project for a beginner either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 If there is a decent amount of interested persons... I might get around to code something quick for it. It all depends on the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcardlej Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Sounds good to me. I thought perhaps this kind of thing may have already been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb3rry Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 I think it would be great to be able to make custom messages on certian information bubbles. I have some experience programming but not sure where to make the hooks etc....and would love to be able to so it during the unattended install set ups.

yuha Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Not exactly sure it this is what you asked for. To show a tip in the taskbar you could AutoIt. It is simpleHere is a quick sample script.;Only one copy loads$G_SZVERSION = "V1"If WinExists($G_SZVERSION) Then Exit AutoItWinSetTitle($G_SZVERSION);$CmdLine[0] contains number of arguments;CmdLine[1] contains the first argumentTrayTip("Title here", $CmdLine[1], 5, 1)Sleep(9999)TrayTip("clears tip from tray","",0)TrayTip("", $CmdLine[1], 5)Sleep(9999) Call it lets says tip.au3Compile the script into an executable and use it in your command script.Attached is the compiled au3 script. Use it like tip "Some information here"where tip is the compiled executable and "Some information here" is the information to display.Hope it helps. Start here if you are new to AutoIt.AutoIt Home Tip.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
`Felix` Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 You can change a number of them by using reshack and opening explorer.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start here if you are new to AutoIt.AutoIt Home @yuhaThat was absolutely excellent, thats for the post!Very easy to use and a great answer...One more question for you, is it possible to associate a program with the bubble that is displayed, so you can click the bubble and it loads the associated program. Much the way windows uses bubbles as default...? Maybe there is even a way to change the icon that is displayed also?? Just a couple of ideas...
