10 @class wxNotificationMessage
11
12 This class allows to show the user a message non intrusively.
13
14 Currently it is implemented natively for Windows and GTK and uses
15 (non-modal) dialogs for the display of the notifications under the other
16 platforms.
17
18 Notice that this class is not a window and so doesn't derive from wxWindow.
