How to show systray tooltip longer than 128 characters

According to MSDN, NOTIFYICONDATA::s开发者_高级运维zTip only supports 128 characters of text. How do I workaround this limitation and show longer tooltip text?

Well, if it's a documented limit in the MSDN, then you can't supply a string that is longer than that. Are you trying to display something similar to a balloon tip?

Keep in mind that this is a tooltip, and such designed to give brief information about an event. If you need something longer, then you will have to draw your own custom window in the tray area.
