MSN Messenger/Growl Style Alerts in Windows C++

Question

Does anyone know of any C++ Libraries which I can easily integrate in a project to allow me to show MSN Messenger/Outlook/Growl style toast popups?

Tried having a look and found lots of Visual Basic controls etc but nothing for C++ so far.

Answer 1

You might wanna a look at Customizable Alert Window by Marius Bancila.

Answer 2

Answer 3

The VS 2008 MFC has a toast dialog that looks just like outlook toast. The disadvantage is that you have to have MFC as the main framework in you app - might not be worth it just for the toasts.

Create a sample MFC project in Visual Studio and see if it is at all suitable.
