How to implement taskbar notification messages

[Jerry Zhao]

I'm working on an application where the javascript code in the web browser
keeps polling the server for new messages through Ajax and web services. How
do I display a popup baloon from the notification area on the taskbar, just
like what Outlook Web does?

Hi Jerry,

Ajax and JavaScript is used in Web form, that can't touch notification area
in taskbar of OS.
My suggest is you can use WinForm and check notifyicon control in WinForm
to achieve it. Please check if it is what you need
http://www.startvbdotnet.com/controls/notifyicon.aspx. And build a C/S
system to retrieve the data from web service.
BTW, Notification in taskbar is not associated with Web form Ajax and
javascript. If you want to achieve the notification capability in taskbar
of OS, I suggest you post to WinForm section. That should be more specific
area for this topic.

If you create an HTML Application instead of an html file you can
create something that looks like a notification.
(*.hta instead of *.html);

Your main application could popup a new window and position it
offscreen, and then dynamically move the window up and down like a
notification.
