Smart Notification

While I was coding the SMS GChat mobile application I discover that the message box of the Mobile standard (smartphone) is really not like the notification of the Mobile Professional and Classic (Pocket PC). 

As you can see the Notification is a nice balloon that allow display of HTML content and is visible only for a for period of time.

In other part the Alert from the Mobile Standard platform is not that powerfull. No Html is support and no timer.

So I want a subtitude those control by a cutom one that will take the advantage of the Notification but will be compatible with all platforms.   Then I remember that the LOB Accelerator 2008 got already something like that.  So I did my SmartNotification base on those recommendations.



Basically it's a form that contains WebBrowser control and a timer.
To be able to use this control you just need to refer the library and create a instance like this:

001using fbLib;
002SmartNotification oNotif = new SmartNotification("ALert", "SMS Notification", "Here you HTML message code", "This message will be save in you're SMS history");
003oNotif.TimerNotification.Interval = 20000;
004oNotif.ShowDialog();

I'm planning to add some CSS functionalities later, but that it for now...

Enjoy!
