Display Popup Alerts

Two objects are included in the library, one class and one control. You can use the class, PopupAlertCore, if you wish to display events from within an object which doesn't support controls, such as another class. The control, PopupAlert, is simply a wrapper for PopupAlertCore but which includes design time support and can be easily dropped onto a form, without having to dimension a reference to the core class.

PopupAlert Objects Features

• Background styles - select between a solid color, two different gradient styles, or a picture background
• Logo image - as well as a Picture property for the background, there is also a Logo property, allowing an optional foreground image to be displayed
• Extended alignments - both the Picture and Logo images can be positioned in one of 9 regions in the popup, or tiled across the background using the PictureAlignment and LogoAlignment properties
• Customisation - you can customise the alert to the size you wish to use, and control the timeout delay before the alert closes by itself (and raising the Timeout event in the process)
• Colors - complete control over the background, foreground and image mask colors
• Mouse Cusor - using the MousePointer and MouseIcon properties, you can customise the cursor of the alert
• Draw - the Draw method will draw the alert onto any hDC, useful if you wish to implement your own custom alerts in containers
