Example

The following code sample demonstrates how the properties of the UltraDesktopAlertShowWindowInfo class can be used to customize the visual appearance and content for a particular desktop alert window:

[Visual Basic]

Imports Infragistics.Win

Imports Infragistics.Win.Misc



    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        '  If a window with the same key as the one we are about to

        '  show is currently open, return

        If (Me.desktopAlert.IsOpen("myWindow")) Then Return



        '  Create a new instance of the UltraDesktopAlertShowWindowInfo class.

        Dim showInfo As UltraDesktopAlertShowWindowInfo = New UltraDesktopAlertShowWindowInfo()



        '  Set the key to uniquely identify this desktop alert window

        showInfo.Key = "myWindow"



        '  Set the Caption, Text, and FooterText properties using formatting

        '  characters that are recognized by the FormattedTextUIElement.

        showInfo.Caption = "<span style=""font-weight:bold_x003B_"">Caption</span> is bolded<br/>"

        showInfo.Text = "<span style=""text-decoration:underline_x003B_"">Line one of the Text is underlined</span><br/><span style=""font-style:italic_x003B_"">Line two is italicized</span><br/>"

        showInfo.FooterText = "<a href=""www.infragistics.com"">Click to visit the Infragistics website</a>"



        '  Use the ScreenPosition property to make the desktop alert

        '  window appear at the top left corner of the screen

        showInfo.ScreenPosition = ScreenPosition.TopLeft



        '  Use the Screen property to specify which screen the desktop alert

        '  appears in...in the case where the end user has amultiple monitor

        '  setup, this will make the alert appear on the last screen

        showInfo.Screen = Screen.AllScreens(Screen.AllScreens.Length - 1)



        '  Set the image that is displayed in the desktop alert window's

        '  client area, and the sound that is played as the window appears.

        showInfo.Image = New Icon("C:\Icons\DesktopAlert.ico").ToBitmap()

        showInfo.Sound = "C:\windows\media\notify.wav"



        '  The Pinned property can be used to circumvent the auto-close

        '  functionality for a particular desktop alert window. When

        '  Pinned is set to true, a pushpin graphic appears in the close

        '  button area to indicate that the window will stay open.

        showInfo.Pinned = Me.pinWindows



        '  The VisibleAlertButtons collection can be used to hide buttons

        '  for a particular desktop alert window, while not affecting the

        '  contents of the UltraDesktopAlert's AlertButtons collection.

        If (Me.allowAppClose = False) Then



            '  Since the UltraDesktopAlertShowWindowInfo is not yet associated

            '  with an UltraDesktopAlert, we must first populate the VisibleAlertButtons

            '  collection with its buttons

            showInfo.VisibleAlertButtons.InitializeFrom(Me.desktopAlert)



            '  Use the VisibleAlertButtons collection's Remove method to remove

            '  the close button for this particular window.

            showInfo.VisibleAlertButtons.Remove(showInfo.VisibleAlertButtons("close"))

        End If



        '   Show the window

        Me.desktopAlert.Show(showInfo)

    End Sub
