Hello

Can i use gdi+ to create a drawing object away from my applications
dialog/window

for example if i wanto display a pop up just above the taskbar like
messenger does when someone signs in,

Thanks

Glenn

This sort of operation is usually performed with a top-level window such as
that used by the Tooltip system. You can create such windows using the
NativeWindow class and doing your own drawing.
