Crate win_msgbox_timeout 

Windows message box and notification module.

This crate provides utility functions for displaying native Windows message boxes and system notifications with support for auto-close timeout, multiple icon styles, and various button combinations.

Features

• Message boxes: Native Win32 message boxes with icon and button presets, plus optional auto-close timeout.
• Standalone popup notification: A custom popup window in the bottom-right corner with live countdown display.
• Tray balloon helper: Display balloon notifications on existing system tray icons.
• C/C++ FFI: Expose custom_msgbox_w for direct calling from C/C++ code (requires cdylib crate type).

Quick Start

use win_msgbox_timeout::{
    MsgBoxType, MsgBtnType, custom_msgbox, error_msgbox, info_msgbox,
    quest_msgbox_yesno, warn_msgbox,
};

// Simple info dialog
info_msgbox("Hello from Rust", "Info", 0);

// Warning with 3-second auto-close
warn_msgbox("Careful!", "Warning", 3000);

// Yes/No question
let result = quest_msgbox_yesno("Do you want to continue?", "Question", 0);
if result == 6 {
    info_msgbox("You clicked Yes", "Result", 0);
}

C/C++ Interop
