 Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2007 1:33 am Post subject: Toaster Popups |
 |
|
I would like to see a feature for Toaster Popups like the ones used in MS Messenger 8 and NOD32 AV. The NOD32 one's would be especially be nice because they're not static like a TRAYTIP and you can put a progress bar inside of them too.
I'm sure I can achieve this effect with GUI and GUICONTROL, but think it would be so much easier if there was a command like TRAYTIP. You can call it TOASTER or TRAYPOPUP |

Quite a few windows programs use this:
Windows Live Messenger
Windows Live Mail
Windows Media Player
eBay Alerts
Just to name a few that popup from time to time on my system
This leads me to think that there might be something that can be done with DllCall to achieve this
Not sure, but might be worth having a look at |

Something like this maybe...
| Code: |
#SingleInstance Force
#Persistent
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1
SysGet, MonitorWorkArea, MonitorWorkArea
MonitorWorkAreaBottom -= 65
MonitorWorkAreaRight -= 307
Gui, +ToolWindow +LastFound +AlwaysOnTop
Gui, Color, Silver
Gui, Font, s14 cRed
Gui, Add, Text, , This is a Toaster PopUp window!
Gui, Show, w300 h40 x%MonitorWorkAreaRight% y%MonitorWorkAreaBottom%, Toaster PopUp
Sleep, 3000
Trans_Num = 255
Loop, 255
{
WinSet, TransParent, %Trans_Num%, Toaster PopUp
Sleep, 20
Trans_Num--
}
Gui, Destroy
ExitApp

With some help from Bobo and Engunneer, here's a modification of aCkRiTe's code: | Code: | #SingleInstance Force
#NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1
DetectHiddenWindows, On
SysGet, Workspace, MonitorWorkArea
Gui, -Caption +ToolWindow +LastFound +AlwaysOnTop +Border
Gui, Color, White
Gui, Font, s14 cRed
Gui, Add, Text, gFade, Your Toast is Ready!`nCOME EAT YOUR TOAST!!!!
Gui, Show, Hide
GUI_ID := WinExist()
WinGetPos, GUIX, GUIY, GUIWidth, GUIHeight, ahk_id %GUI_ID%
NewX := WorkSpaceRight-GUIWidth-5
NewY := WorkspaceBottom-GUIHeight-5
Gui, Show, Hide x%NewX% y%NewY%
DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",GUI_ID,"Int",500,"UInt","0x00040008") ; TOAST!
Return
Fade:
DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",GUI_ID,"Int",1000,"UInt","0x90000") ; Fade out when clicked
ExitApp |
