NAME

Win32::TSA::Notify::PerlExe::ActiveState::PerlTray - Perltray emulation of "Tray" functions for Win32 TSA Notification System

SYNOPSIS

use Win32::TSA::Notify::PerlExe::PerlTray;

$icon = Win32::TSA::Notify::PerlExe::PerlTray->new();

$icon->SetIcon( 'app' );
$icon->SetIcon( 'app', 1000 );
$icon->SetIcon( [ 'blue', 'red', 'green', 'yellow' ] , 250 );

$icon->SetAnimation( 5000, 250, 'blue', 'red', 'green', 'yellow' );
$icon->SetAnimation( 5000, 250, [ 'blue', 'red', 'green', 'yellow' ] );

$icon->Balloon( 'Info1', 'Title1', 'warning', 3000 );
$icon->Balloon( 'Info2', 'Title2', 'none', 5000 );

DESCRIPTION

Internal module.

May be used directly by user to access this class methods only.

METHODS

• $icon->SetIcon( ICON )

• $icon->SetIcon( ICON, FREQUENCY )

• $icon->SetIcon( [ ICONS ], FREQUENCY )

  The SetIcon( ICON ) function changes the tray icon to ICON. After FREQUENCY milliseconds SetIcon() will return.

  The SetIcon( [ ICONS ] ...) function animates the object icon by cycling through all icons in the ICONS list. The icon is changed every FREQUENCY milliseconds.

  ICON must be the name of one of the icons bundled with the application, but without the application prefix and ".ico" extension.

  Example:

  Application Name:   Win32-TSA-Notify.pl
  ICON            :   info
  Icon Name       :   Win32-TSA-Notify_Info.ico

• $icon->SetAnimation( DURATION, FREQUENCY, ICONS )

• $icon->SetAnimation( DURATION, FREQUENCY, [ ICONS ] )

  The SetAnimation() function animates the object icon by cycling through all icons in the ICONS list for DURATION milliseconds. The icon is changed every FREQUENCY milliseconds. After DURATION milliseconds the previous object icon is restored.

  ICON must be the name of one of the icons bundled with the application, but without the application prefix and ".ico" extension.

  Example:

  Application Name:   Win32-TSA-Notify.pl
  ICONS           :   201 .. 203
  Icon Name       :   Win32-TSA-Notify_201.ico
                      Win32-TSA-Notify_202.ico
                      Win32-TSA-Notify_203.ico

• $icon->Balloon( INFO, TITLE, ICON, TIMEOUT )

  The Balloon() function displays a balloon tooltip for TIMEOUT seconds. The balloon displays the INFO text and TITLE title. In addition, one of these icons can be specified: "info", "warning", "error", "none".

  Example:

  Application Name:   Win32-TSA-Notify.pl
  ICON            :   none
  Icon Name       :   Win32-TSA-Notify_None.ico

  Balloon() terminates any icon animation that may be in progress.

  [ ONLY STANDARD ALERT: Balloon will use the given timeout exactly]

  Windows limits the range of the timeout value to between 10 and 30
  seconds. For example, if you specify a value of '2', Windows displays
  the balloon for 10 seconds.
  
  Only one tooltip can display on the taskbar at any one time. If an
  application attempts to display a tooltip while another is already
  displayed, the tooltip will not display until the already-displayed
  tooltip has been visible for its miminum TIMEOUT value (10 seconds).
  
  For example, if a tooltip with a TIMEOUT value of 20 seconds is displayed,
  and another application attempts to display a tooltip 5 seconds later, the
  initial tooltip will continue to display for another 5 seconds before it
  is replaced by the second tooltip.
