  11 \section{\class{wxNotificationMessage}}\label{wxnotificationmessage}
  12
  13 This class allows to show the user a message non intrusively. Currently it is
  14 implemented natively only for the Maemo platform and uses (non-modal) dialogs
  15 for the display of the notifications under the other platforms but it will be
  16 extended to use the platform-specific notifications in the other ports in the
  17 future.
  18
  19 Notice that this class is not a window and so doesn't derive from wxWindow.

  33
  34 \func{}{wxNotificationMessage}{\void}
  35
  36 Default constructor, use \helpref{SetParent}{wxnotificationmessagesetparent},
  37 \helpref{SetTitle}{wxnotificationmessagesettitle} and
  38 \helpref{SetMessage}{wxnotificationmessagesetmessage} to initialize the object
  39 before showing it.

  41
  42 \func{}{wxNotificationMessage}{\param{const wxString\& }{title}, \param{const wxString\& }{message = wxString()}, \param{wxWindow* }{parent = NULL}, \parent{int }{flags = \texttt{wxICON\_INFORMATION}}
  43
  44 Create a notification object with the given attributes.
  45
  46 See \helpref{SetTitle}{wxnotificationmessagesettitle},
  47 \helpref{SetMessage}{wxnotificationmessagesetmessage},
  48 \helpref{SetParent}{wxnotificationmessagesetparent} and
  49 \helpref{SetFlags}{wxnotificationmessagesetflags} for the description of the
  50 corresponding parameters.

  52
  53 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::Close}\label{wxnotificationmessageclose}
  54
  55 \func{bool}{Close}{\void}
  56
  57 Hides the notification.
  58
  59 Returns \true if it was hidden or \false if it couldn't be done (e.g. on some
  60 systems automatically hidden notifications can't be hidden manually)
  61
  62
  63 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::SetFlags}\label{wxnotificationmessagesetflags}
  64
  65 \func{void}{SetFlags}{\param{int }{flags}}
  66
  67 This parameter can be currently used to specify the icon to show in the
  68 notification. Valid values are \texttt{wxICON\_INFORMATION},
  69 \texttt{wxICON\_WARNING} and \texttt{wxICON\_ERROR} (notice that
  70 \texttt{wxICON\_QUESTION} is not allowed here).
  71
  72 Some implementations of this class may not support the icons.
  73
  74
  75 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::SetMessage}\label{wxnotificationmessagesetmessage}
  76
  77 \func{void}{SetMessage}{\param{const wxString\& }{message}}
  78
  79 Set the main text of the notification. This should be a more detailed
  80 description than the title but still limited to reasonable length (not more
  81 than 256 characters).
  82
  83
  84 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::SetParent}\label{wxnotificationmessagesetparent}
  85
  86 \func{void}{SetParent}{\param{wxWindow* }{parent}}
  87
  88 Set the parent for this notification: the notification will be associated with
  89 the top level parent of this window or, if this method is not called, with the
  90 main application window by default
  91
  92
  93 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::SetTitle}\label{wxnotificationmessagesettitle}
  94
  95 \func{void}{SetTitle}{\param{const wxString\& }{title}}
  96
  97 Set the title, it must be a concise string (not more than 64 characters), use
  98 \helpref{SetMessage}{wxnotificationmessagesetmessage} to give the user more
  99 details.
 100
 101
 102 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::Show}\label{wxnotificationmessageshow}
 103
 104 \func{bool}{Show}{\param{int }{timeout = Timeout\_Auto}}
 105
 106 Show the notification to the user and hides it after timeout seconds
 107 pass. Special values \texttt{Timeout\_Auto} and \texttt{Timeout\_Never} can be
 108 used here, notice that you shouldn't rely on \arg{timeout} being exactly
 109 respected because the current platform may only support default timeout value
 110 and also because the user may be able to close the notification.
 111
 112 Returns \false if an error occurred.
