Create a Windows system message/notification

[hobbyProgrammer]

Hi,

I am making a timer and I would like a system message to appear when the timer is completed.
I think I've seen it before in one of the examples, so if you know the name of the example, that would be very helpful.

(The way outlook shows you that you've got an email or how discord shows you incoming messages)

@hobbyProgrammer said in Create a Windows system message/notification:

a system message to appear

What do you mean by this? Are you talking about native Windows SendMessage() call, or something quite different/specific?

@JonB Hi.

I meant the way outlook shows you that you've got an email or how discord shows you incoming messages.

OK, sorry, I don't know. It might be Windows 10-sy, or it might have something to do with the system tray. Is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11450528/qt-notifications-without-tray-icon-possible relevant to you? See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58096835/qt-windows-10-notifications, or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48991603/c-qt-how-to-check-if-toast-notifications-are-enabled-for-my-application. So I think it has something to do with the system tray, or whatever "toast" is...
