Hi All

I know this is not 100% the correct place to ash a full on VB6 question but this forum is always most helpful.

I got code that can display a message in the systemtray as a balloon (Same as when windows gives you a message). This code works 100% in XP but does not work in Win7

Can someone please assist. I will post all my modules here.

Form Code
Code:
Private Sub cmdBalloon_Click(Index As Integer)

    TrayBalloon pbTray, txtTitle.Text, txtMsg.Text, Index

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim tmp
    
    tmp = RegRead(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\", "EnableBalloonTips")
    MsgBox tmp
    If tmp = 0 Then
        If MsgBox("Balloon tips are currently disabled on your computer. Would you like to enable them?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Enable Balloon Tips?") = vbYes Then
            WriteDWORD HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\", "EnableBalloonTips", 1
            If MsgBox("Balloon tips are now enabled, but you must first logoff your computer" & vbNewLine & "and then log back on before the changes will take effect." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Would you like to be logged off now?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Logoff Now?") = vbYes Then
                LogOffNT True
                End
            End If
        Else
            MsgBox "Without balloon tips enabled on your computer, this program will not function properly.", vbExclamation, "Balloon Tips Disabled"
        End If
    End If
                
    TrayAdd pbTray
   
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)

   TrayRemove pbTray
   
End Sub
