Dunno if I totally understand what you mean?
But if its to send a message to a window, you could use sendmessage_() or _sendMessage() I believe. This is a windows system call
more info here;

I think yo ask for the notifications panel on Windows 10 ? (Win +A)
Notifications on W10 taskbar (Balloon Tooltips or 'Toast notifications') can be added to notification panel after being closed.
(but I don't know how to)

i'm looking for something like this
https://github.com/deseven/pb-macos-notifications just for Windows 10! I think such toast notifications need to be declared as a Window 10 App to have access to the notification center.

Hi A.D.
Sent you a PM; original code can be found @
Windows Services & Other Stuff\Other_Stuff\PowerShell\ToastNotification\...
NOTE: Currently the code is to big to post as it uses base64 images.

For basic notifications RASHAD is correct (
System Tray Balloon).
But I thought the image I posted made it clear that Toast Notifications are different, and offer another level of messaging.
See the following
XML and Toast Notification below:
NB*: I copied and pasted the XML into my existing example and the results were identical.
Code: Select all
<toast scenario="reminder">
<visual>
<binding template="ToastGeneric">
<text>Windows 10 Semiannual Update 1809</text>
<text>Required by 5:00 PM, Fri, 1/25/19</text>
<text>You can visit Software Center at any time to view more details or install updates before the required deadline.</text>
<image placement="hero" src="https://picsum.photos/364/180?image=1043"/>
</binding>
</visual>
<actions>
<input id="snoozeTime" type="selection" title="Click Snooze to be reminded in:" defaultInput="15">
<selection id="15" content="15 minutes"/>
<selection id="60" content="1 hour"/>
<selection id="240" content="4 hours"/>
<selection id="480" content="8 hours"/>
</input>
<action activationType="system" arguments="snooze" hint-inputId="snoozeTime" content=""/>
<action activationType="system" arguments="dismiss" content=""/>
</actions>
</toast>

Oh, sorry, I didn't realise that image was an example toast notification. But yeah, you're right. Some notifications are more than just messages/balloon tips.

It would be nice if someone could give a small, complete and functional example ("Hello World")
For information, with other tools like
AutoIt, a simple
Code: Select all
TrayTip("Information", "Hello World!.", 30, 17)
... is enough to display a toast on Windows 10 ("title", "message", timeout, icon)
(but does not keep it in the notification center)
This is one of the easiest ways to get the user's attention in a program.
The advantage is also that you can't validate it by mistake by pressing enter like a modal box (MessageRequester)

@JHPJHP
It didn't work the first time for me, Script execution is disabled here
But it worked fine after adding Set-executionpolicy unrestricted
It goes through Powershell but nice toast
Code: Select all
ProgramResult = RunProgram("powershell", "Set-executionpolicy unrestricted;" + #DQUOTE$ + TemporaryDirectory + "_ToastNotification.ps1" + #DQUOTE$, #Null$, #PB_Program_Hide | #PB_Program_Open | #PB_Program_Read)

Hi ChrisR,
Thank you for reporting the problem.
There already are Procedures to handle the Execution Policy (see RestorePoint.pbi), but I didn't think they were needed here.
The examples have been updated to set and restore the original Execution Policy; I believe RemoteSigned should be enough.

Hi JHPJHP,
It's all good with script execution disabled by default here
