winrt-notification

An incomplete wrapper over the WinRT toast api

Tested in Windows 10 and 8.1. Untested in Windows 8, might work.

0.2 Documentation 0.3 Documentation

Todo:

• Add support for Adaptive Content
• Add support for Actions

Known Issues:

• Will not work for Windows 7.
• Requires MSYS to build when targeting gnu toolchain (i686-pc-windows-gnu and x86_64-pc-windows-gnu).
  • May work with some other method, but the rust gnu toolchain cannot link this crate with just rustup and cargo.

Limitations:

• Windows 8.1 only supports a single image, the last image (icon, hero, image) will be the one on the toast

Usage

#Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
winrt-notification = "0.2.4"

Examples

extern crate winrt_notification;
use winrt_notification::{Duration, Sound, Toast};

fn main() {
    Toast::new(Toast::POWERSHELL_APP_ID)
        .title("Look at this flip!")
        .text1("(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻")
        .sound(Some(Sound::SMS))
        .duration(Duration::Short)
        .show()
        .expect("unable to toast");
}

extern crate winrt_notification;
use std::path::Path;
use winrt_notification::{IconCrop, Toast};

fn main() {
    Toast::new("Your AppUserModeId")
        .hero(&Path::new("C:\\absolute\\path\\to\\image.jpeg"), "alt text")
        .icon(
            &Path::new("c:/this/style/works/too/image.png"),
            IconCrop::Circular,
            "alt text",
        )
        .title("Lots of pictures here")
        .text1("One above the text as the hero")
        .text2("One to the left as an icon, and several below")
        .image(&Path::new("c:/photos/sun.png"), "the sun")
        .image(&Path::new("c:/photos/moon.png"), "the moon")
        .sound(None) // will be silent
        .show()
        .expect("unable to toast");
