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.
40
41
42 \func{}{wxNotificationMessage}{\param{const wxString\& }{title}, \param{const wxString\& }{message = wxString()}, \param{wxWindow* }{parent = NULL}}
43
44 Create a notification object with the given title and message (the
45 latter may be empty in which case only the title will be shown).
46
47
48 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::Close}\label{wxnotificationmessageclose}
49
50 \func{bool}{Close}{\void}
51
52 Hides the notification.
53
54 Returns \true if it was hidden or \false if it couldn't be done (e.g. on some
55 systems automatically hidden notifications can't be hidden manually)

58 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::SetMessage}\label{wxnotificationmessagesetmessage}
59
60 \func{void}{SetMessage}{\param{const wxString\& }{message}}
61
62 Set the main text of the notification.
63
64
65 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::SetParent}\label{wxnotificationmessagesetparent}
66
67 \func{void}{SetParent}{\param{wxWindow* }{parent}}
68
69 Set the parent for this notification: the notification will be associated with
70 the top level parent of this window or, if this method is not called, with the
71 main application window by default
72
73
74 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::SetTitle}\label{wxnotificationmessagesettitle}
75
76 \func{void}{SetTitle}{\param{const wxString\& }{title}}
77
78 Set the title, it must be a concise string, use
79 \helpref{SetMessage}{wxnotificationmessagesetmessage} to give the user more
80 details.
81
82
83 \membersection{wxNotificationMessage::Show}\label{wxnotificationmessageshow}
84
85 \func{bool}{Show}{\param{int }{timeout = Timeout\_Auto}}
86
87 Show the notification to the user and hides it after timeout seconds
88 pass. Special values \texttt{Timeout\_Auto} and \texttt{Timeout\_Never} can be
89 used here, notice that you shouldn't rely on \arg{timeout} being exactly
90 respected because the current platform may only support default timeout value
91 and also because the user may be able to close the notification.
92
93 Returns \false if an error occurred.
