VB.Net BalloonTipText appears as a black rectangle












1















I have a strange problem, I have created a test form FrmTest. Added a NotifyIcon and added the code shown:



Public Class FrmTest
Private Sub FrmTest_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub

Sub FormTest_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Click
Call SetBalloonTip()
NotifyIcon1.Visible = True
NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(30000)
End Sub

Private Sub SetBalloonTip()
NotifyIcon1.Icon = SystemIcons.Exclamation
NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipTitle = "Balloon Tip Title"
NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipText = "Balloon Tip Text."
NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Error
End Sub
End Class


When I click to make the balloon appear I get this:



Balloon Pic



I must be doing something obviously wrong but I am stumped!

    That is what a balloon looks like on Win10. Nothing is wrong.

  • How do I mark as answered, I don't see the green tick?

  • There isn't one because an answer has not been posted. There is already four close votes on the question, so just one more and it will be taken care of.
