PopupAlert 2.02.0086

PopupAlert is an ActiveX component library which was designed to help you display popup alerts similar to those used in Microsoft Windows Messenger and Office 2003, using a variety of different styles.
Two components are included in the library, a class and a control. You can use the class, PopupAlert, if you wish to display events from within an object which doesnt support controls, such as another class.
The control, PopupAlertCtl, is simply a wrapper for PopupAlert which includes design time support and can be easily dropped onto a form, without having to create a reference to the core class.
Main features:
- Background styles - select between a solid color, two different gradient styles, or a picture background
- Border styles - choose between a range of border styles for your alerts
- Logo image - as well as a Picture property for the background, there is also a Logo property, allowing an optional foreground image to be displayed
- Button support - an alert can display Close and Option buttons via the new ShowOptionButton and ShowCloseButton properties. You can determine when these buttons are clicked via the OptionClick and CloseClick events.
- Alignment control - Picture and Logo images and Alert and Action text can all be positioned in one of 9 regions in the popup. The Picture and Logo can also be tiled across the background using the PictureAlignment and LogoAlignment properties
- Size, Location and Timeout - you can customize the alert to the size you wish to use, choose the position to display the alert and control the timeout delay before the alert closes by itself (and raising the Timeout event in the process)
- Colors - complete control over the background, foreground and image mask colors
- Mouse Cusor - using the MousePointer and MouseIcon properties, you can customise the cursor of the alert
- Scroll Style - choose whether the alerts should scroll or fade into view
- Draw - the Draw method will draw the alert onto any hDC, useful if you wish to implement your own custom alerts in containers
