the tray message usually works with a timeout ...<br />
you'd have to repeat the message until it's cleared<br />
<br />
i program in delphi, rather easy with that, but i'm guessing you don't have delphi

I have a MySQL database that collects data from the call light system at one of our hospitals. &nbsp;So when a resident is in there room and they push the button on their remote to call for a nurse, it dumps that data into a MySQL database. &nbsp;I have about 40 laptops/desktops on each floor that can view those calls requests on a small web interface but I wanted to see if there was a way to have a small windows app that pings the DB every few seconds for alerts and then would popup a message when it has one. &nbsp;I would want that message to say on the screen until the class was cleared which is just another flag in the table. &nbsp; That way they dont have to have that website loaded up and just sitting there waiting for an error.<br />
<br />
anyone know how I could do that? or any easy solutions for something like that?
