[SOLVED] Baloon message on a tray icon

[Eranga]

Hi all,

How can I add a balloon message into a tray icon, without using a action listener.

Thanks

Oh, it's simple. I've solved it.

Hey Eranga... Can you post the solution here please? I'd like to know this one myself. Thanks

Sure, nothing to do much pal. Define a public trayicon variable. Then in the displayMessage() method check all the arguments are available or not.

    private void statusMessage(){
        try{
            trayIcon.displayMessage("Message Title", 
            "Message Content",
            TrayIcon.MessageType.INFO);
        }
        catch(NullPointerException npe){
            System.out.println(npe.getLocalizedMessage());
        }
    }

This is only the code I used. Called it in an appropriate place of your application. I've add it just after the tray icon added to the system tray.

Why not. Easiest way, and the most perfect way I think :)

Only logic is make to happened something essential to JVM. Like exception handling.
