Dm gives me some errors when i try to compile a piece of code to popup a balloon tips... The code:

NOTIFYICONDATA notifyData;

memset(&notifyData, 0, sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA));
notifyData.cbSize = sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA);
notifyData.hWnd = (HWND)m_win->GetHWND();
notifyData.uCallbackMessage = 0;
notifyData.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE;
notifyData.uFlags |= NIF_INFO;

lstrcpyn(notifyData.szInfo, WXSTRINGCAST message, sizeof(notifyData.szInfo));
lstrcpyn(notifyData.szInfoTitle, WXSTRINGCAST title,
sizeof(notifyData.szInfoTitle));

notifyData.dwInfoFlags = icon ;
notifyData.uTimeout = timeout;
notifyData.uID = 99;

res = Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_MODIFY, &notifyData) != 0;

I have included <shellapi.h> but it gives me these errors:

notifyData.uFlags |= NIF_INFO;
^
src\taskbarIcon.cpp(23) : Error: undefined identifier 'NIF_INFO'
lstrcpyn(notifyData.szInfo, WXSTRINGCAST message, sizeof(notifyData.szInfo));
^
src\taskbarIcon.cpp(25) : Error: 'szInfo' is not a member of struct
'_NOTIFYICONDATAA'
lstrcpyn(notifyData.szInfoTitle, WXSTRINGCAST title,
sizeof(notifyData.szInfoTitle));

and many others... why?

The info tip feature is a rather new feature in windows, and
the windows headerfiles and libraries shipped with Digital
Mars are not the most recent.
The solution is to download a new "platform sdk" from
Microsoft, it's huge but free.

I've just tried, but digital mars doesn't like Platform SDK headers... It gives me some compile-error. What about linking by the way?

It works! I've applied the patch by Christof Merrwald.
It's not needed to update lib files as long as it seems
that digital mars in last version have updated this lib
by itself...

Good... maybe now i can use video for window too :D
