6 wxNotificationMessage - Functions for wxNotificationMessage class
7
9 This class allows showing the user a message non intrusively.
10 Currently it is implemented natively for Windows, macOS, GTK and uses
12 generic toast notifications under the other platforms. It's not recom‐
13 mended but wxGenericNotificationMessage can be used instead of the na‐
14 tive ones. This might make sense if your application requires features
15 not available in the native implementation.
16 Notice that this class is not a window and so doesn't derive from
18 wxWindow.
19 Platform Notes
21 Par: Up to Windows 8 balloon notifications are displayed from an icon
23 in the notification area of the taskbar. If your application uses a wx‐
24 TaskBarIcon you should call useTaskBarIcon/1 to ensure that only one
25 icon is shown in the notification area. Windows 10 displays all notifi‐
26 cations as popup toasts. To suppress the additional icon in the notifi‐
27 cation area on Windows 10 and for toast notification support on Windows
28 8 it is recommended to call mSWUseToasts/1 before showing the first no‐
29 tification message.
30 Par: The macOS implementation uses Notification Center to display na‐
32 tive notifications. In order to use actions your notifications must use
33 the alert style. This can be enabled by the user in system settings or
34 by setting the NSUserNotificationAlertStyle value in Info.plist to
35 alert. Please note that the user always has the option to change the
36 notification style.

49 wxNotificationMessage() = wx:wx_object()
50
52 new() -> wxNotificationMessage()
53 Default constructor, use setParent/2, setTitle/2 and setMes‐
55 sage/2 to initialize the object before showing it.
56 new(Title) -> wxNotificationMessage()
58 Types:
60 Title = unicode:chardata()
62 new(Title, Options :: [Option]) -> wxNotificationMessage()
64 Types:
66 Title = unicode:chardata()
68 Option =
69 {message, unicode:chardata()} |
70 {parent, wxWindow:wxWindow()} |
71 {flags, integer()}
72 Create a notification object with the given attributes.
74 See setTitle/2, setMessage/2, setParent/2 and setFlags/2 for the
76 description of the corresponding parameters.
77 destroy(This :: wxNotificationMessage()) -> ok
79 Destructor does not hide the notification.
81 The notification can continue to be shown even after the C++ ob‐
83 ject was destroyed, call close/1 explicitly if it needs to be
84 hidden.
85 addAction(This, Actionid) -> boolean()
87 Types:
89 This = wxNotificationMessage()
91 Actionid = integer()
92 addAction(This, Actionid, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()
94 Types:
96 This = wxNotificationMessage()
98 Actionid = integer()
99 Option = {label, unicode:chardata()}
100 Add an action to the notification.
102 If supported by the implementation this are usually buttons in
104 the notification selectable by the user.
105 Return: false if the current implementation or OS version does
107 not support actions in notifications.
108 Since: 3.1.0
110 close(This) -> boolean()
112 Types:
114 This = wxNotificationMessage()
116 Hides the notification.
118 Returns true if it was hidden or false if it couldn't be done
120 (e.g. on some systems automatically hidden notifications can't
121 be hidden manually).
122 setFlags(This, Flags) -> ok
124 Types:
126 This = wxNotificationMessage()
128 Flags = integer()
129 This parameter can be currently used to specify the icon to show
131 in the notification.
132 Valid values are wxICON_INFORMATION, wxICON_WARNING and wxI‐
134 CON_ERROR (notice that wxICON_QUESTION is not allowed here).
135 Some implementations of this class may not support the icons.
136 See: setIcon/2
138 setIcon(This, Icon) -> ok
140 Types:
142 This = wxNotificationMessage()
144 Icon = wxIcon:wxIcon()
145 Specify a custom icon to be displayed in the notification.
147 Some implementations of this class may not support custom icons.
149 See: setFlags/2
151 Since: 3.1.0
153 setMessage(This, Message) -> ok
155 Types:
157 This = wxNotificationMessage()
159 Message = unicode:chardata()
160 Set the main text of the notification.
162 This should be a more detailed description than the title but
164 still limited to reasonable length (not more than 256 charac‐
165 ters).
166 setParent(This, Parent) -> ok
168 Types:
170 This = wxNotificationMessage()
172 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
173 Set the parent for this notification: the notification will be
175 associated with the top level parent of this window or, if this
176 method is not called, with the main application window by de‐
177 fault.
178 setTitle(This, Title) -> ok
180 Types:
182 This = wxNotificationMessage()
184 Title = unicode:chardata()
185 Set the title, it must be a concise string (not more than 64
187 characters), use setMessage/2 to give the user more details.
188 show(This) -> boolean()
190 Types:
192 This = wxNotificationMessage()
194 show(This, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()
196 Types:
198 This = wxNotificationMessage()
200 Option = {timeout, integer()}
201 Show the notification to the user and hides it after timeout
203 seconds are elapsed.
204 Special values Timeout_Auto and Timeout_Never can be used here,
206 notice that you shouldn't rely on timeout being exactly re‐
207 spected because the current platform may only support default
208 timeout value and also because the user may be able to close the
209 notification.
210 Note: When using native notifications in wxGTK, the timeout is
212 ignored for the notifications with wxICON_WARNING or wxICON_ER‐
213 ROR flags, they always remain shown unless they're explicitly
214 hidden by the user, i.e. behave as if Timeout_Auto were given.
215 Return: false if an error occurred.
217 useTaskBarIcon(Icon) -> wxTaskBarIcon:wxTaskBarIcon()
219 Types:
221 Icon = wxTaskBarIcon:wxTaskBarIcon()
223 If the application already uses a wxTaskBarIcon, it should be
225 connected to notifications by using this method.
226 This has no effect if toast notifications are used.
228 Return: the task bar icon which was used previously (may be
230 NULL)
231 Only for:wxmsw
233 mSWUseToasts() -> boolean()
235 mSWUseToasts(Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()
237 Types:
239 Option =
241 {shortcutPath, unicode:chardata()} |
242 {appId, unicode:chardata()}
243 Enables toast notifications available since Windows 8 and sup‐
245 presses the additional icon in the notification area on Windows
246 10.
247 Toast notifications require a shortcut to the application in the
249 start menu. The start menu shortcut needs to contain an Applica‐
250 tion User Model ID. It is recommended that the applications
251 setup creates the shortcut and the application specifies the
252 setup created shortcut in shortcutPath. A call to this method
253 will verify (and if necessary modify) the shortcut before en‐
254 abling toast notifications.
255 Return: false if toast notifications could not be enabled.
257 Only for:wxmsw
