How to set Alerts in MAC system

borisa

Hi,

Mac has Banners, Alerts, and Badges (https://support.apple.com/en-il/HT204079)
How can I use this tool from the QT?

Thx

not directly, but it can be easily mimed (platform independently) with QWidgets:

QFrame* notifier = new QFrame;
notifier ->setWindowFlags( Qt::Tool | Qt::CustomizeWindowHint | Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint );
notifier ->setFocusPolicy( Qt::NoFocus );
const QRect availableGeometry = QGuiApplication::primaryScreen()->availableGeometry(); // Qt5 way; for Qt4 use QDesktopWidget::availableGeometry(notifier);
QRect geom = notifier ->geometry();
geom.moveBottomRight( availableGeometry.bottomRight() - QPoint(20,20) );
notifier ->setGeometry( geom  );
notifier ->show();

For a nicer effect you can additionally use QGraphicsOpacityEffect to fade the widget in and out.

Hi,

IIRC messages can be sent using QSystemTrayIcon

Badges can be set using QtMac::setBadgeLabelText

I don't remember if there's something for the banner however you can use Objective-C++ for that without any problem.

Can i included in my project only the relevant h and cpp files (like System.Classes.hpp, FMX.Controls.hpp, FMX.Forms.hpp ....)?
If so, where can i found them?
If not, How can i include the Objective-C++ in my QT?

What relevant header file do you mean ?

Take a look e.g. at the QtMacExtras module there are several examples there.
