My former co-worker Marcel Venema has written an article “Sending User Notifications with RESONE Workspace“. In his solution, a script is used to display the user notification.
To display a simple notification balloon, the executable of the “Windows log-on reminder” can be used:
wlrmdr.exe -s <time>
| -s <time> | Time to show notification in milliseconds. Use 0 to display the notification without timeout. |
| -f <x> | One or more of the following values that indicate an icon to display in the notification.
0x00000000 = Do not display an icon. x is decimal. To display an information icon without sound = 0x01 + 0x10 = 0x11 = 17 decimal |
| -t <title> | Text first Line |
| -m <text> | Text second Line |
Use this command line in an execute command or use it in application object.
Command line examples:
wlrmdr.exe -s 0 -f 1 -t Tile -m text
Notification ballon with information icon.
wlrmdr.exe -s 0 -f 4 -t Tile -m text
