Essential Tools from Syncfusion provides you a SplashControl/Panel that
provides you the Messenger style popup UI, among other things.

Take a look at the feature list, download a demo and a free eval:

Other then that, if you don't want to spent money, you can just create a borderless window which you animate (move) from behind the taskbar, that is pretty much all it is. have a small window let's say 60x60 and position it ResolutionWidth + 60 and ResolutionHeight + 60; then if the event is fired that you want the window to appear, change the height -60 and width -60 So it will appear it comes from the tray icon. The nifty thing is now, if a user has the taskbar on top or on the side to check that and have the window appear from there. But this should give you a pointer on where to go.

Can anyone tell me how to create msn messenger like tray balloon (displayed right over the msn messenger tray icon when someone come online). Useful weblinks are also welcome. I want to implement it in Visual Basic 6.0
