    Windows ToolBar With PopUp

    I basically want to display two lines of text on the TaskBar and when clicked a popup appears above. I have attached an image of what im thinking of. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You should post what you tried.

    Otherwise, it looks like you just dumped your requirements on the forum and are expecting someone to just hand over the code.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    They're called Desk Bands - here's MSDN's starter page and sample code (Creating Custom Explorer Bars, Tool Bands, and Desk Bands).
