Notification example

Here is an example of a notification:

• 1. Application icon and name: This information cannot be modified.
• 2. Notification header image (HeaderImagePath property of the sysNotification variable).
• 3. Logo image: Default application logo. This logo can be replaced with an image (LogoImagePath property of the sysNotification variable). You can also crop this image into a circle (LogoImageCrop property of the sysNotification variable).
• 4. Title: Notification title or name (2 lines maximum, Title property of the sysNotification variable).
• 5. Additional text: Two additional text areas, taking no more than a total of 4 lines (Text1 and Text2 properties of the sysNotification variable).
• 6. Date and time the notification was sent (Date property of the sysNotification variable).
• 7. Attribution, which indicates the source of the information: SMS, etc. (Attribution property of the sysNotification variable).
• 8. Image contained in the notification. This optional image is displayed when the notification is expanded (ContentImagePath property of the sysNotification variable).
• 9. Edit control where the user can enter text (defined by the sysNotificationInput variable).
• 10. Combo Box where the user can select an option (defined by the sysNotificationInput variable).
• 11. Simple button, which can perform an action defined by the system or send information back to the calling application (defined by the sysNotificationButton variable). You can also define a context button, which is added to the context menu of the notification (right click).
