Handy Notification Software

[BuilderSpec]

Hi

I have created a simple little program that will give you a cool looking notification window on your screens . It is called "CASNotify" and can be downloaded from

http://www.clientadministrationsystem.co.uk/downloads/casnotify.zip

Simply use the Shell command in Access VBA to call it and pass the parameters. A cool little window appears in the bottom right of the screen telling your users anything you want, and after 4 seconds it fades away. You can :

* Specify the window title
* Specify the message
* Specify how long it stays on screen before it fades
* Specify whether the user has to dismiss it by clicking OK.

usage examples :

Casnotify "Rate Alert" "ebay auction is ending"

Causes a window to appear with the title "Rate Alert" and "eBay auction is ending" in the box. Fades away after a few seconds

Casnotify "Rate Alert" "ebay auction is ending" -s

Causes a window to appear with the title "Rate Alert" and "eBay auction is ending" in the box. An OK button is on the window and the message and window will remain on top of any other form until the OK button is pressed.

Casnotify "Rate Alert" "ebay auction is ending" -t 10

Causes a window to appear with the title "Rate Alert" and "eBay auction is ending" in the box. Window will remain on screen for 10 seconds before fading away.

Download and use .. I would appreciate it if you could gibe me some feedback . useful ? waste of time ?


As an example of integration the following code would be used for the Shell command

Dim stAppName As String

stAppName = "C:\CASNotify.exe ""hello world"" ""this is me"""
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)

The double quotes are used to feed the parameters into the program.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Cheers
