here is a sample from microsoft for C++ and C# (https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/Sending-toast-notifications-71e230a2/sourcecode?fileId=51046&pathId=1859297009) that should get you started. As far as I know this is only available on windows8 and 10 It will not work on windows lower than 8 so you better link with the api dynamicaly to avoid crashes.

Isn't this the small yellow hint box that pops up when the mouse is over a control?

In my opinion, to solve the problem it’s enough to use TTrayIcon  :)
