Tool tip kind of window

Dear All,
How to pop up a window that will look like Tip of the day window , or else the one which we get in MS office. An animated icon called Office assistant appears in MS office products and when you click on that icon a window pops up appears that looks like a tool tip kind of.
Please let me know how to get that kind of window.

Thanks,

What kind of application are you making? Web App with JSPs? Swing App? SWT App? All can have pop-ups, but how you do it for each is all very different.

Thanks for replying. Its for swing application.
Could you tell how exactly that pop up can be made visible.

I can't, but I'm sure the folks in the Swing forum will have a better idea how to do it. I'm moving this thread over there.
