NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip not working

[Turiya]

The NotifyIcon control is supposed to pop up a text filled balloon when this code runs.

'Show the icon
NotifyIcon1.Visible = True
'Show the balloon...any day now...wait for it...
NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(3000, "Test", "Testing...", ToolTipIcon.Info)

But it doesn't. I have two lines of code in the entire program, and I can't debug it. This is sad.

No basket means no balloon for that carrier.. Have you actually set an icon for the NotififyIcon control? When running the app do you see the icon in the system tray? If not it won't display the balloon either.

Yes, I see the icon that I set at design time, a red bell, it works with everything including clicking doubleclicking and rightclicking. Just the balloons.

I did nothing more, just added NotifyIcon control, set an icon for it, and added that single line of code to ShowBalloonTip.

Now, where did you call that code?
