Questions re Toast Notifications

[VinceAvery]

I'm previewing the toast notifications and had a few questions. Any input would be appreciated.

Q1) Is it possible to disable the x and the click on the notification so that the user has to click the custom buttons?

Q2) Is it possible to change the colour of the notification other than via the Windows theme? I assume the answer is no.

Q3) Is it possible to drag / move notifications? I assume the answer is no.

Q4) Is it possible to change the default placement of the notification? I assume the answer is no.

Q5) Is it possible to maintain a count of notifications automatically? Or would I need to code this myself?

Q6) Is it possible to have an expand/collapse section where more details can be shown? I have used the Adaptive content which works well but I would like it hidden. I see an expander control in the Toolkit here.

FYI @vaheeshta to help with these questions.

Hello! Questions 1-4 and 6 are not possible. For Q5, you can use the ToastNotificationHistory.GetHistory method to retrieve the notifications that you have sent to the user and now reside in the Notification Center (referred to as Action Center in Windows 10). Learn more about ToastNotificationHistory here and ToastNotificationHistory.GetHistory here. Let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks!

Thanks @vaheeshta, would the best place for asking any feature requests for notifications be in the Windows App SDK discussion area moving forward? Or the project board portal?

The product board is the best place for feature requests to be submitted: https://portal.productboard.com/winappsdk. GitHub for the project: https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK
