Hi all,
I am looking for a way to pop up one of those little notifications in
the bottom right of the screen, the ones that go away after something
like ten seconds. You generally see them saying things like "Your
system might be at risk", "New updates are ready to be installed.
Click here to install these updates.", or "Installing device drivers.
Click here for status."
I want my application to pop up one of those, and I think I need wx to
do it. I do not want anything to happen if you click it, all I need is
a way to show some text using a global hotkey, and this control seems
the best way to do it.
The problem is that I cannot find it. I have tried tooltip, but it
seems that a tooltip is attached to another widget, which is not what
I am looking for. A search for balloon was no help, and helpballoon
just brought up a custom widget implementation that I could not
download. Does anyone know what control I am looking for and if I can
pop it up independently of any window? Again, it does not need to do
anything if clicked, just hang out for a few seconds and then
disappear, displaying a string for the time it is alive. Thanks for
any help!!
