Hi All,
Does anyone know whether Balloon Text Tips are intended to be inluded in
the 3.0 release of eclipse. Seems like a small extension to the
SysTray/TrayItem stuff and is extremly useful.
It can be added quite simple (for win32 anyway) via:
public void setBalloonText (int iconState, String title, String text,
int msTimeout) {
checkWidget ();
if (OS.IsWinCE) return;
NOTIFYICONDATA iconData = OS.IsUnicode ? (NOTIFYICONDATA) new
NOTIFYICONDATAW () : new NOTIFYICONDATAA ();
TCHAR buffer1 = new TCHAR (0, title == null ? "" : title, true);
TCHAR buffer2 = new TCHAR (0, text == null ? "" : text, true);
/*
* Note that the size of the szTip field is different
* in version 5.0 of shell32.dll.
*/
int length1 = OS.SHELL32_MAJOR < 5 ? 64 : 128;
int length2 = OS.SHELL32_MAJOR < 5 ? 64 : 128;
if (OS.IsUnicode) {
char [] szInfo = ((NOTIFYICONDATAW) iconData).szInfo;
char [] szInfoTitle = ((NOTIFYICONDATAW) iconData).szInfoTitle;
length1 = Math.min (length1 - 1, buffer1.length ());
System.arraycopy (buffer1.chars, 0, szInfoTitle, 0, length1);
length2 = Math.min (length2 - 1, buffer2.length ());
System.arraycopy (buffer2.chars, 0, szInfo, 0, length2);
} else {
byte [] szInfo = ((NOTIFYICONDATAA) iconData).szInfo;
byte [] szInfoTitle = ((NOTIFYICONDATAA) iconData).szInfoTitle;
length1 = Math.min (length1 - 1, buffer1.length ());
System.arraycopy (buffer1.bytes, 0, szInfoTitle, 0, length1);
length2 = Math.min (length2 - 1, buffer2.length ());
System.arraycopy (buffer2.bytes, 0, szInfo, 0, length2);
}
iconData.cbSize = NOTIFYICONDATA.sizeof;
iconData.uID = id;
iconData.hWnd = display.hwndMessage;
iconData.uFlags = OS.NIF_INFO;
iconData.dwInfoFlags = iconState;
iconData.uVersion = msTimeout;
OS.Shell_NotifyIcon (OS.NIM_MODIFY, iconData);
}

oops, looks as though the timeout stuff does not work. Another field
(uTimeout) needs to be added to NOTIFYICONDATA
As per
typedef struct _NOTIFYICONDATA {
DWORD cbSize;
HWND hWnd;
UINT uID;
UINT uFlags;
UINT uCallbackMessage;
HICON hIcon;
TCHAR szTip[64];
DWORD dwState;
DWORD dwStateMask;
TCHAR szInfo[256];
union {
UINT uTimeout;
UINT uVersion;
};
TCHAR szInfoTitle[64];
DWORD dwInfoFlags;
GUID guidItem;
} NOTIFYICONDATA, *PNOTIFYICONDATA;

Not for 3.0. Enter a buzilla report. I'm not sure all platforms have them.
Can you use the tool top instead?

not for notification purposes, no. Tool tips (which is what I presume
you meant) do not "pop-up".

I agree. Balloon tips are quite useful but are win32 specific. Gnome
and KDE do not support balloon tips in notification icons yet, however
the specification defined at opendesktop.org does describe how they
should be supported.
I could see supporting the "Plain" style balloon tip on windows, and
emulating this on Gnome and KDE using a shell with a region defined to
make it look similar to the Windows balloons. GTK should give you
enough info to place the balloon and even trace it to the trayicon to
which it belongs.
