Is there a way to define the Application Name that appears in Balloons (etc) ?

Our code runs via an Interpreter, and the name of the Interpreter appears instead of our Branded Application name

The reason we are looking at NotifyIcon is that it is hard/impossible to do this via the standard MS Notifications

Hello Steven,

The balloon notification visual does not come from the WinForms framework, but it is a part of Windows APIs. This means that it is limited when it comes to modifications. The application name text in the balloon is restricted, which is something that cannot be changed. It will get the assembly title of your project.

However, you could change it in the AssemblyInfo.cs file. In your project, expand the Properties item and open the AssemblyInfo file.

Then change the AssemblyTitle attribute:

Here is the result:

I hope that this approach will work for you.
