I know that Chris' Ghengis project has a "toast" implementation (among
other interesting stuff):

Here's an excellent article that explains how to this at CodeProject:
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscct...et=msn%7Cpopup

From the article:

The MSN messenger like popup supports:

A custom transparent bitmap background
A skinnable 3-State close button
A clickable title text
A clickable content text
A selection rectangle
Custom fonts and colors for the different states of the text (normal/hover)
Animation speed parameters
It's also heavily documented and explained very well.

You can check out AlertPOP .NET from Component Designs, it's very easy
to use and has a nice set of features.

I need urgent help. Done OK for a newbie getting automation of Windows Messenger into a Winform C# app but have three problems that I urgently need pointers to. Point 1 and 2 are the same issue, I think. Point 3 might relate to a threading issue: 1. I have written a C# Winform application that uses Windows messenger automation. When I attempt to send a file through the window messenger object, there is some horrid screen flicking...

Hi, In the example code below can anyone tell me why the first link alerts an empty string but the second alerts the width? The only difference is the way the left: 20px; is applied but I wouldn't have thought this should matter. This occurs in both Firefox (1.0.2) and IE6 (On Win XP SP2). This appears to be the behaviour no matter what style is applied (e.g. border's too).

Hi, I was working with NET Alerts and my application was ok. But since April 8 Messenger PPE forces me to update to a new version which does not support PPE anymore, if I decline the installation of new version then Messenger does not sign me in and I can't access PPE. What's wrong? Please help me and thanks in advance.

Hi, I want to use MS Messenger in order to show an alert on my local PC from my VB.NET app (I don't want to use the Microsoft Alerts SDK, just de MS Alert Popup window) I think this is possible, because the Microsoft Alerts Preview Tool does it. I just want to know how can I emulate that behaviour.

I downloaded the Alerts SDK, configured my machine to run the emulator, coded a .NET test client, and managed to get the messages to appear in MSN Messenger 6.2; it works very well. However I switched over to Windows Messenger 5.0, and now it doesn't work. According to the documentation in the SDK it should work with both. Also if I switch back to MSN Messenger 6.2, it starts working again. Thanks in advance.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
