Introducing Snarl

A fancy notification system for Windows

Snarl is a notification system inspired by Growl that allows applications to display a nice alpha-blended message on the screen.

Unlike other forms of notification, Snarl does not hijack the current focused window, nor does it force the taskbar to be visible. Notifications can either be cancelled by clicking on them, or left to disappear automatically if ignored for a period of time.

Snarl can display many message at any one time; new messages are simply displayed beneath existing ones. The application displaying the message can also update the content at any time, remove the message, or specify an icon to be displayed.

Best of all, developers of other applications can include Snarl support in their applications with almost no effort at all - Snarl uses Windows window messaging functionality to show and hide notifications, making it accessible to any programming language from pure C to Visual Basic or .net-based environments.

I love Growl on the Mac. I hope this pans out. I figured I'd take teh sample script and dump it into a new DX object . . . it threw an error right off. . . End of line expected I think.

I'll try later at home where the boss isn't around.

You'll probably have to use the ActiveX helper library (SnarlLib.dll) to work in DX, not sure if it is included in the current release, tho...

I didn't see it in the list of activeX controls in the DXScript editor. I'll have to keep an eye out for it then.
