<Toast>.Display (Function)

In french: <Toast>.Affiche

Displays a "Toast" message.

Toasts are a short messages that appear on the screen for a few seconds before fading out without any user intervention. A toast does not take focus, is not modal and does not interrupt application execution.

The display of toasts is recommended for conveying information to the user without blocking execution of the application (e.g. displaying a message to indicate the end of a download).

New in version 2025

Default toast display improved. By default:

the corners of the toast are automatically rounded.
an outer margin is defined between the edge of the toast and the edge of the parent don.
toast opening and closing animation corresponds to the animation defined in the project options ("Field animations" option, in the "Advanced" tab of the project description).

MonToast.ActionClose = clicFerme

Syntax

<Toast>.ToastDisplay()

<Toast>: Toast variable

Name of the Toast variable that defines the toast to be displayed.

Remarks

Managing threads

<Toast>.Display can be called from a WLanguage thread (to notify the user of events that occurred during the thread execution for example).

Successive calls

If <Toast>.Display is called several times, each toast is displayed once the previous toast has disappeared. This behavior can be changed using the Overlayable property of the Toast variable. This property restores the behaviour of version 24: the toasts are superimposed one on top of the other.

If <Toast>.Display is called several times, only the last call to the function will be taken into account.
