Growl for Windows is a notification system which can let you know when any event occurs with a subtle notification. The rest of the time, Growl stays out of your way. If you do not know Growl, see Growl for Windows

Growl libraries exist for many popular programming languages, and here is one for AutoIt. You can use to to send notifications and you can get asynchronous call backs when the user clicks the notification.

Examples:

Local $notifications[1][1] = [["Notifcation"]]
Local $id=_GrowlRegister("AutoIt", $notifications, "http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/graphics/au3.ico")
_GrowlNotify($id, $notifications[0][0], "Simple notification", "Text of the simple notification")
_GrowlNotify($id, $notifications[0][0], "Notification with Click", "CLICK ME", "", "ID", "Context", "ContextType")
Sleep(10000); Enough time for user to click

Func AutoIt_CLICK($id, $context, $contextType)
   MsgBox(0, "AutoIt_CLICK", "$id="&$id&@CRLF&"$context="&$context&@CRLF&"$contextType="&$contextType)
EndFunc

To use the UDF, you also need the ASock UDF

I made it for Gmail Growl.

Have fun!

Awesome! Thanks this is just what I was hoping for and looking for for my next project. I'm hoping it will work with the latest version of autoit.

That looks great. You should ask a Mod to move the thread to the Example Scripts forum, it would be a much better place for this interesting UDF.
