Popup Toaster

Any thoughts on supporting Windows Toast Notifications as a delivery method for popup notifications?
It seems like you can let Windows do a lot of the heavy lifting :)

  • It's a cool idea, but there are some considerations. You have to register your application's AUID and a COM object to handle the user interacting with the toast. That means you need an installation process of some kind that runs with elevated permissions. That means I can't just create a simple call that shows a windows toast. So, there's ironically a bit of heavy lifting to get Windows to do the heavy lifting... at least when you compare it to our Popup control, which does toast without all the ceremony.
  • Interesting - thanks! Not as easy as I thought though..
