Clarification: does it support notifications outside main window?

[BrainCrumbz]

Hello

me and my team are looking for a toaster notification library in WPF and came through your library. Thanks for sharing it.

One question though: does it support showing notification in main screen/desktop, so outside of main application window? Potentially also when application is running but main window is minimized, ot application runs from the "system tray"?

Something along the lines of this other library we found, where you can set position to be PrimaryScreenXxxYyy or ApplicationXxxYyy.

Thanks

Hi currently it's not possible, maybe in the future, but i need to find some free time to do that, or someone else do that and share via pull request ;)

There are some (minor) PRs already. You might want to have a look at those. If you start accepting one, we can rebase the others consequently, although there should not be conflicts. Tnx

` public NotificationPopupWindow(FrameworkElement attachedElemnt)
{
InitializeComponent();

        this.Activate(); // insert this line and rebuild project; Copy new ToastNotification.dll and Add references to your project
        SetProperties(attachedElemnt);

        Loaded += OnLoaded;
        Unloaded += OnUnloaded;

}`

will be done in version 2

Hi, version 2 is now available and mentioned feature also. You can use different position providers to move notifications to different locations on a screen. In your case use PrimaryScreenPositionProvider, more about that you can find in the docs and samples. If this is not enough you can create your own PositionProvider by implementing a IPositionProvider interface.

Thanks for keeping us posted! Will try it in a future update of our application. Cheers!

BTW maybe there's a typo in readme examples, where it says:

// PrimaryScreenPositionProvider
Notifier notifier = new Notifier(cfg =>
{
    cfg.LifetimeSupervisor = new TimeAndCountBasedLifetimeSupervisor(
        notificationLifetime: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3),
        maximumNotificationCount: MaximumNotificationCount.FromCount(5));
    /* * */
});

Comment probably should say TimeAndCountBasedLifetimeSupervisor

You're right, now its fixed.
Thanks!
