Re: [lazarus] PopupNotifier - Patch
This component needs to be included to fix this bug: http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=1696 It can either be included on a new directory or on the same directory as trayicon, as you guys prefer. The last thing before the bug can be considered solved is being able to determine the location of the system tray, so the popupnotifier can be shown near it. thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
[lazarus] PopupNotifier - Patch
Me and Felipe have been working on this patch for about 2/3 weeks, and we finally think it is ready to submit. The patch creates a new component called "TPopupNotifier" used to show pop-up messages anywhere on the screen. It can be used for a number of purposes but I specifically wanted it to show messages to a user from a program currently minimised to the tray. That is the major function then - to pop up a small window to share some sort of information with the user. The component supports icons (any TImage support format) and custom colorization (which we did multiplatform - tested on win32, gtk1 and gtk2). Each message is split into a title and a text section, both are TLabels in practise but the text label is big enough to comfortably show multiline messages. Both labels automatically resise themselves to fit the size of the icon picture. The patch includes the component, a lazarus package for it and a small demo program that shows how to use it. If it's accepted, I'll write a wiki page documenting it in full.
