MSN Messenger Style Systray Notification Messages

[Wokawidget]

UPDATED 10th March 2005

I have developed a fully functional, fully customisable MSN Messenger Style systray notification system.

Features:

• Multiple popup messages
• Scrolling direction, Up, Down, Left or Rigth
• Sticky Messages
• Display inside app or picbox by setting parent to containers hWnd
• Click message to hide it
• Message in front of all other windows
• Smooth scrolling
• Custom background picture
• Custom Logo
• Custom Message
• Custom Caption
• Custom Size
• Play different sounds when showing message
• Add progress bar to message (like Norton Anti Virus when it scans emails)
• If no room is available to display message then it waits till another message hides 1st.
• Change show time, scroll speed and movement increment.
• Allow clickable messages which raise an event back to the UI.
• Simple to use DLL. Easy to add functionality to any project.
• Main app now keeps focus (Thanks to 86atc250r for the code)
• Messages now able fade in and out
• NEW: Detachable messages. Drag a message as a sticky desktop note.

Download the project and run Test.vpg.

Any comments most welcome.
