Qt Windows 10 notifications

Question

I am trying to make use of the Windows 10 notifications system (the ones poping out from the right side panel, available from notifications tray icon) in my Qt 5.13.0 program. I am looking at the Windows extras class: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwinextras-index.html but cannot find any API for such thing. Is it even possible somehow in Qt?

Answer 1

Yes, try the System Tray Icon example.

It is not a Windows only API. The QSystemTrayIcon class works in several platforms. In Windows 10, QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage() shows the notification you are looking for.
