Toast Notifications

[TimStone]

We now have the Toast Class and Toast Function. They both allow us to have a popup notification.

What I don't see is how we get the info to save in the notification center. Without this capability, all we really have is a MsgAlert positioned in the lower right corner of our screen.

Have you found a way to get it to save the notification ? I don't see it discussed anywhere.

Tim,

To have the full potential of the Toasts we should use Visual Studio C++ to code it and it would not be available to Borland users.

Thats all we can have to make it compatible to Borland users.

Antonio,

Anyone can move to Harbour / MSVC and it is FREE. In my view, TOAST( ) has no value unless it is able to actually save the notifications. It is simply MsgAlert( ) in the lower right corner with a timer rather than a button. If anyone walks away from the computer, they will never see the message. Only by saving it, does it have a purpose.

Perhaps you can re-build the TOAST( ) capability and just include it in the Microsoft FWH libs.

Can it be done as .DLL or ActiveX component?

[Antonio Linares]

We could build a DLL, that may be a good solution for all
