How may I bind a Toast progress bar with my C++ Win32 application?
To bind a Toast progress bar with your C++ Win32 application, you can make use of the Windows Data Binding (WinRT) APIs provided by the Windows Runtime. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
Add the necessary WinRT headers to your C++ Win32 application:
cpp#include <winrt/Windows.Foundation.h>
#include <winrt/Windows.UI.Notifications.h>
Initialize the WinRT system in your application's
WinMain
function:cppint WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
// Initialize the WinRT system
winrt::init_apartment();
// Your application code
return 0;
}
Bind the Toast progress bar using the WinRT APIs:
cpp// Create a progress value for the Toast progress bar
winrt::Windows::Foundation::Uri progressValueUri{ L"ToastProgressBar" };
winrt::Windows::UI::Notifications::ToastNotificationManager::GetDefault().GetTemplateContent(winrt::Windows::UI::Notifications::ToastTemplateType::ToastImageAndText4);
auto progressValueElement = progressValue.GetElementsByTagName(L"progress");
if (progressValueElement.Size() == 1)
{
progressValueElement.GetAt(0).Attributes().GetNamedItem(L"value").NodeValue().Append(progressValue);
}
// Create the Toast notification
winrt::Windows::UI::Notifications::ToastNotification toast{ progressValue };
// Show the Toast notification
winrt::Windows::UI::Notifications::ToastNotificationManager::CreateToastNotifier(L"YourAppId").Show(toast);
In the above code, you first create a progress value for the Toast progress bar using a
Uri
object. Then, you retrieve the default Toast template content usingGetTemplateContent
and specify the template type asToastImageAndText4
.Next, you locate the
progress
element in the template content and set thevalue
attribute to theprogressValue
Uri.Finally, you create the Toast notification using the progress value, and then show the Toast notification using the
CreateToastNotifier
method, passing your application's unique identifier (AppId) as a parameter.
Make sure to replace "YourAppId"
with your actual application's identifier.
Please note that the above code assumes you have the necessary WinRT headers and libraries included and linked in your project. You may need to adjust the code based on your project settings and dependencies.
Additionally, keep in mind that Toast notifications are supported on Windows 10 and require the user's consent to display notifications.
