PopupNotify is an ActiveX tool for creating MSN-style popup alerts that fade in and slide up above the taskbar. It includes support for transparency, balloon tips, pictures, gradients, and more, and is Unicode-enabled. Alerts disappear after a few seconds, making it a handy tool for messaging and notifications.
The ease of use of PopupNotify is noteworthy. You can create a basic MSN style popup with only a single line of code, and customization is a breeze. You can customize the color and font of the text, along with the alignments of the text and pictures, with very little coding. PopupNotify allows you to create a wide range of new looks for your popups.
PopupNotify offers three different border styles, and you can also display gradients at any angle you choose. With the photo border style, you can display popup photos that are automatically resized. Additionally, PopupNotify fully supports the Unicode ISO 10646-1 and UCS-2/UTF-16 standards, so you can easily include international characters such as Japanese, Russian, or Arabic, in your programs.
There are many outstanding features of PopupNotify. For example, PopupNotify supports MSN and XP style interfaces, as well as balloon-style tooltips. The popup and tooltip can be made semi-transparent, and there are configurable timeouts (also supporting infinite popups).
