The ShellPopupNotification component does not have a direct event which enables the developer to determine when the text or link of a shell popup notification window is clicked. Instead, the MouseUp event must be used to achieve this as follows :

[C#]
' MouseUp event handler
private void shellPopupNotification1_MouseUp(object sender, LogicNP.ShellObjects.ShellPopupMouseEventArgs e)
{

' Call the HitTest method of ShellPopup
if(e.Popup.HitTest(e.X,e.Y)==ShellPopupAreas.Text)
MessageBox.Show("Text clicked");

}


[VB.Net]
' MouseUp event handler
Private Sub ShellPopupNotification1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As LogicNP.ShellObjects.ShellPopupMouseEventArgs) Handles ShellPopupNotification1.MouseUp

' Call the HitTest method of ShellPopup
If e.Popup.HitTest(e.X, e.Y) = LogicNP.ShellObjects.ShellPopupAreas.Text Then
MessageBox.Show("Text Clicked")
End If

End Sub

Similarly, to determine whether the link was clicked, simply use Link enumeration member instead of Text as follows :

[C#]
' Call the HitTest method of ShellPopup
if(e.Popup.HitTest(e.X,e.Y)==ShellPopupAreas.Link)
MessageBox.Show("Text clicked");

[VB.Net]
' Call the HitTest method of ShellPopup
If e.Popup.HitTest(e.X, e.Y) = LogicNP.ShellObjects.ShellPopupAreas.Link Then
MessageBox.Show("Text Clicked")
End If

This technique can also be used to determine whether the background image, logo image, background or the Office2003 gripper was clicked.
