Win32 Notif

A lightweight crate to help you to compose beautiful notifications for Windows OS.

This crate aims for 100% coverage of the WinRT Toast api as much as possible.

Thankfully we are quite near that goal due to our unique approach to notification content: widgets

You declare your own style, however you like as long as the XML Supports it.

Basic Usage

use std::{path::absolute, thread::sleep, time::Duration};

use win32_notif::{
  NotificationBuilder, NotificationDataSet, notification::visual::{Image, Placement, Text, image::{AdaptiveImageAlign, ImageCrop}, text::HintStyle}, notifier::ToastsNotifier
};

fn main() {
  let notifier = ToastsNotifier::new("Microsoft.Windows.Explorer").unwrap();

  let notif = NotificationBuilder::new()
    .visual(
      Text::create(0, "Welcome to \"win32_notif\"!! 👋")
        .align_center(true)
        .wrap(true)
        .with_style(HintStyle::Title)
    )
    .visual(
      Text::create_binded(1, "desc")
        .align_center(true)
        .wrap(true)
        .with_style(HintStyle::Body)
    )
    .value("desc", "Data binding works as well {WOW}!")
    .build(0, &notifier, "01", "readme")
    .unwrap();

  notif.show()
    .unwrap();

  sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));

  let data = NotificationDataSet::new().unwrap();

  data.insert("desc", "Hello, the message is edited").unwrap();

  notifier.update(&data, "readme", "01").unwrap();
}

What is implemented

We've actually implemented a lot of the Notification APIs

Containers

• Text
• Image
• Progressbar
• Groups
• Subgroups

Handlers

• Foreground OnActivated
• Foreground OnError
• Foregrounf OnDismissed

Utility

• Notification Updating
• Data Binding (so that you can update notification content)
• Notification Duration
• Scenarios
• Command
• Actions
• Inputs
• Selections
• Visual
• Idiomatic Rust Builder Style (with_... methods)

and a lot of other things... 🎉

Future Project Plan

• COM Activator
• Background Activation Handling

...and that's it
