I am building a WPF 4 application and I want to display a message in a nicely formatted box in a separate window in the bottom righthand corner of the screen.
I really like the popup that Evernote has whenever the application syncs with the main server.
How do I do this?
Do I just create a new window in my application and new up window displaying my message and then use a timer to close it, or is there a better way?
Set Up NotificationsFrom the Kitchen Setup page of the Toast Web, select Notification Setup from the POS notifications section. Enabled Notifications will appear with a blue checkmark. To disable a notification, uncheck the notification. (Save and Publish for change to take effect.)
Placement. Follow these placement guidelines for Toast Notifications: Place them either top-center or top-right of the screen. If badging is being used, toasts should be placed underneath it.
A toast is a small display on the bottom of the screen. A notification is displayed in the top menu bar. Show activity on this post. The toast class is used to display alerts to the user; it disappears after a few seconds.
I have found this solution to be wonderful for my applications:
