Moderators Melba23 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) z0iid,I went ahead and made it possible to do both. I attach the modified UDF and example - read the function headers for _Notify_Set and _Notify_Show to see how I have implemented it. The example explains how the various setting are changed as the script progresses.Let me know what you think - I am pretty happy with it. M23P.S. And if anyone else wants to comment - feel free!

z0iid Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) lol - no, the comparison was with regards to the "Some people are never satisifed!" comment. (She was never satisfied - now her lack of satisfaction is someone elses problem)I certainly don't want to be known as a demanding/trouble forum user.... let other users (the community) decide how to implement the feature. (although, Global is certainly acceptable for me, and how I will use the feature.)btw - your UDF's are great training resources for me since i don't know standards....I hope to learn by example.**edit**looked at the changes, and example - fantastic, love it.I may spend some time integrating this into a systemwide app (similar to growl) that can accept "feeds" from other apps, event logs, etc - what ever the user wants to subscribe to for notifications. *shrug*.... but with the existence of growl, it probably wouldn't be used many places except for the organization i work for. z0iid,Not sure I like that comparison!

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2012 z0iid,I certainly don't want to be known as a demanding/trouble forum userYou are not - I enjoy the challenge. But I think I have done enough on this UDF for a while (hint!). i don't know standards....I hope to learn by exampleWell do not take me as a paragon of perfection - all I had were some university programming classes in Fortran about 40 years ago! But I hope my code is clear and logical - I try to do that so upgrading it is easy later on. I think I have proved the point over the past few days. How do you find the Slide/Fade implementation? Using negative/positive parameters is one of my favourite tricks to prevent having too many of the damn things.

Rogue5099 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Great work, I can't wait till I find a use for this in some type of program. Usually I just write code for personal use but would be nice to show your stuff to friends that share the same interest.

rcmaehl Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Why you no have screenshots!? Anyway, Suggestion: Allow the notifications to partly stick out from the side of the screen (idk 10px shown) and then show when the user clicks on them. My UDFs are generally for me. If they aren't updated for a while, it means I'm not using them myself. As soon as I start using them again, they'll get updated.My Projects WhyNotWin11Cisco Finesse, Github, IRC UDF, WindowEx UDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwert Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 My thoughts, exactly. But an alternative would be to have them pop into view if the mouse is moved to the right edge of the screen for one second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwert Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks for the update and reminder. I've been overloaded and have only been able to download your beta and run the example file. I'll have more time this weekend to give it a closer look. I will say that what I think I'll eventually need is some sort of Dismiss button, where the user can call up a message as often as they want and then cause it to disappear when they don't need it any more. But let me see what I can do with what you've provided. I do appreciate your response to my original request. It's nice to have a popup message alternative that makes good use of screen space.

BrewManNH Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I found a small bug.From the header for _Notify_Locate:; Parameters ....: $iLocation - Start point and direction for Notifications; 0 = Bottom right upwards (default)And from the first line of the function itself:Func _Notify_Locate($iLocation)There's no default set in there, you have have to call the function with _Notify_Locate(some number) or it will fail. Simple change needed, Func _Notify_Locate($iLocation = 0) for it to have a default value, or the header info needs to be redone.EDIT: I do realize you call the _Notify_Locate function at the start of the UDF itself with a 0 as the parameter, but reading the header one might assume that the 0 value is defaulted when using the function.

BrewManNH Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Sorry to say, found another bug in there. In the function _Notify_Show, where you call the _StringSize function, one of the parameters is wrong, so the title of the notifications are the wrong size. This is only noticable if you have a title longer than the message because part of the title is wrapped to the next line and the message text overlaps it. Below is the corrected line. $aLabel_Pos = _StringSize($sTitle, 9, 800, Default, $aNotify_Settings[1][3]) ; This line is from the title section (Line 317), and the font weight was originally set to Default instead of bold If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

MKANET Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Could someone please tell me what I'm cofing wrong? All I want to do is for the application to echo $CmdLine[1] (command line argument) in the notification window. Thanks in advance! #include "Notify.au3" If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then $Message=$CmdLine[1] EndIf $localappdata = EnvGet ("localappdata") ;$APPEXE = $localappdata & "ULStart.exe" $APPEXE = @ScriptDir & "ULStart.exe" Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0) ; Register message for click event _Notify_RegMsg() ; Set notification location _Notify_Locate(0) ; _Notify_Set(2, 0xFF9C18, 0x000073, "Comic MS") _Notify_Show($APPEXE, "Title", $Message, 3, 5) sleep(6000) Edited June 14, 2012 by MKANET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKANET Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Melba23 I really love this Notify UDF! I'm glad you asked me to check out the UDF's you created in your signature. I know you probably thought of this already, but could you please add a fade in/fade out effect (just like how MS Outlook notify works)? I am guessing this would be relatively easy to do.

BrewManNH Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'm not sure what is causing it, but I am using this UDF as a pop up notification for a media player and occasionally the Notification label text and background colors are being applied to one of the GUIs I have on my media player. It ony happened rarely, but I think it has something to do with the way I have the windows appearing/disappearing when the player is in use. I added a line "GUISwitch($hNotify_Handle )" just before the comment about creating labels in the _Notify_Show function and it seems to have eliminated the problem. Just thought you might want to know. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
