Usage

Show simple toast notification

    message: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.",
    title: "Simple notification");

Use NotificationContent to override AppIdentity, set icons and etc.

var notificationManager = new NotificationManager();

var content = new NotificationContent
{
    Title = "Simple notification",
    Message = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.",
    AppIdentity = "App",
    AttributionText = "Via PXMC",
    VectorIcon = Application.Current.TryFindResource("[...]") as StreamGeometry,
    UseLargeIcon = true
};

notificationManager.Notify(content);

Show notification inside application window

1. Add namespace:

xmlns:pxmc="https://github.com/paulem/pixelmaniac"

2. Add NotificationArea within which notifications will be displayed:

<pxmc:NotificationArea MaxNotificationsCount="3" Position="BottomRight" />

3. Show notification:

notificationManager.Options.InAppNotificationPlacement = true;

notificationManager.Notify(
    "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.",
    "Simple notification");

OnClick & OnClose actions

notificationManager.Notify(
    content,
    onClick: () => Console.WriteLine("Click"),
    onClose: () => Console.WriteLine("Closed"));

Caliburn.Micro MVVM support

Here is a fully working example of an app with Caliburn.Micro support.

1. Modify App.xaml:

xmlns:pxmc="https://github.com/paulem/pixelmaniac"

<Application.Resources>
    [...]
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type pxmc:Notification}">
        <Style.Resources>
            <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type micro:PropertyChangedBase}">
                <ContentControl cal:View.Model="{Binding}"/>
            </DataTemplate>
        </Style.Resources>
    </Style>
</Application.Resources>

2. Create a ViewModel and use it as a notification content:

var vm = new NotificationViewModel
{
    Title = "Custom notification",
    Message = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit."
};

_notificationManager.Notify(vm, expirationTime: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));

3. You may use controls:Notification.CloseOnClick in your view:

<DockPanel LastChildFill="False">
    <!--Using CloseOnClick attached property to close notification when button is pressed-->
    <Button x:Name="Ok" Content="Ok" DockPanel.Dock="Right" controls:Notification.CloseOnClick="True"/>
    <Button x:Name="Cancel" Content="Cancel" DockPanel.Dock="Right" Margin="0,0,8,0" controls:Notification.CloseOnClick="True"/>
</DockPanel>
