I looked around a bit when attempting to answer the question the first time.
You might want to look at mouse_event(), but I'm not sure how that would
work. You could also try an IOCTL call to look at the device directly, but
I haven't tried that. I would probably try writing my own balloon class and
simply catching the mouse clicks in there and passing them back as part of
the API.

Thanks for your idea, I try this method, unfortunately,
NIN_BALLOONUSERCLICK
was received
before WM_LBUTTONDOWN or WM_LBUTTONDOWN. Is there any API to get the
state
of the mouse?

If you handle it fast enough you could just look at the state of the
mouse
button when you get the message. You could keep track of the state by
managing the LBUTTON and RBUTTON up and down messages.

Hi,

In OnTrayIconNotify, my program process NIN_BALLOONUSERCLICK. According
to
msdn, NIN_BALLOONUSERCLICK was sent when the balloon is dismissed
because
of
a mouse click. Is it possible to distinguish right mouse click from
left
mouse click
for this message? I want my program to open a new window when user left
click on the balloontip but pop up the context menu when user right
click
on
the trayicon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Richard
