PopupNotify Control Description

The PopupNotify Control was designed to be a "toast" popup notifier, similar to the ones seen in MSN Messenger. It improves upon the original by using the native AnimateWindow API to animate, which is much faster and smoother. It also allows for an image on the left of the popup, and an alpha-blended image in the background of the popup. It also will properly locate the system tray and pop in the correct direction no matter where the user's taskbar has been moved. The new version also has a much nicer Vista-inspired style. There are two versions - an old version for use with.NET 1.1, and a newer implementation for .NET 2.0. The new implementation makes less P/Invoke calls, is better with memory, has improved drawing code, and a nice new "Vista-style" look. To use PopupNotify, simply drop it into your solution, then create a new PopupNotify, set its properties, and call Show(). That should be it!
