Displays a message outside the browser.
A browser can display information outside its window. For example, a browser in Windows can display a notification for incoming emails at the bottom right of the desktop. The information will be shown even if the browser is minimized.
// Displays a message outside the browser
NotificationDisplay("Messaging", "New incoming email", ...
"Message.gif")
Syntax
NotificationDisplay(<Title> , <Message> [, <Image>])
<Title>: Character string
Title of the message displayed. If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), the title will not be displayed.
<Message>: Character string
Message to display in the notification.
<Image>: Optional character string
Image of the message displayed. In a dynamic page, if the image is found in the "_WEB" directory of the project, you must specify the virtual path of this directory, by using
FolderWeb for example. For example: FolderWeb() + "MyImage.gif".
Remarks
- Notifications must be enabled on Windows on the user's computer. Otherwise, the notification will not be displayed.
- The notifications are not supported by some browsers. If the browser does not support notifications, the notification will not be displayed.
- If notifications are not allowed, an authorization request will be displayed in the browser.
Caution: If NotificationDisplay is called from a button that executes server code, the browser's notification permission request will be deleted when the page is refreshed: therefore, the user will not be able to allow notifications.
