PopupNotify - MSN Messenger Style Popup Alert ActiveX Control for VB

PopupNotify 1.0 Description

PopupNotify is an ActiveX control that lets your applications display MSN style popup alerts and notifications. Popup Notifications gracefully fade in and slide up above the taskbar tray, and can be set to disappear by themselves after a few seconds.

PopupNotify is very easy to use. You can get started with a basic MSN style popup with just one line of code! Customizing your popups is also very easy, so you can create all type of new looks with very little coding.

You can customize the color and font of the text, as well as the alignments of the text and pictures. PopupNotify can display gradients at any angle you choose, and offers three different border styles. With the photo border style, you can display popup photos that are automatically resized.

PopupNotify also fully supports the Unicode ISO 10646-1 and UCS-2/UTF-16 standards, so you can use international characters (Japanese, Russian, Arabic, etc.) in your programs.
