I'm currently working on a project where I need to display Windows toast notifications and hook into the Windows 10 action centre from within our Progress application.
I've spent some time researching this and it looks like we mainly need access to the Windows.UI.Notifications Namespace. Initially I thought it might be as simple as adding the correct USING statement, but this doesn't appear to be directly available from Developer Studio.
I contacted Progress support who suggested that I should figure out what .NET references need to be added in order to access the Windows.UI.Notifications Namespace. So far I've had no luck figuring it out. They also suggested I try asking for help here.
Any suggestions or thoughts on how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.
Hi,
I don't understand exactly what you name "Toast notification"....But in my software, i use the Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraDesktopAlert
This object put message on the corner you want in the screen, and hide them automatiquely....perhaps like toast ?
look at this
and on google
and tell me if is that you look for.
Im úsing this code... abeit is little buggy, as notifications remain in windows 10, on the notification area... but it might be a good start.

Good luck
Thanks for the replies and sample code, I'll give it a try.
Not sure if you can post links here, so you might not see this link, but this is what I mean by Windows Toast Notifications
These are similar to the Infragistics pop-ups but they can also be added into the Windows 10 action centre which I don't believe the Infragistics pop-ups can.
