MSN Messenger Style Popup Alert ActiveX Control for VB

PopupNotify is an ActiveX control that lets your applications display MSN style popup alerts and notifications. Popup Notifications gracefully fade in and slide up above the taskbar tray, and can be set to disappear by themselves after a few seconds. PopupNotify is very easy to use. You can get started with a basic MSN style popup with just one line of code! Customizing your popups is also very easy, so you can create all type of new looks with very little coding.
