Doesn't work on Win 8.1

[Boscop]

Both examples do nothing :(
Any idea how to make it work?

I'll take a look at it on a win 8.1 vm this weekend.

Thanks!

Okay so the issue is that I am using the ToastGeneric binding which is a windows 10 only thing.

Windows 8.1 only allowed fixed templates.

So no short term fix here.
I'll think about how to work around this.

Alright, 0.2.0 should work with win 8.1.
At least it did on the 64-bit 8.1 VM.

If it doesn't let me know.
Note that 0.2.0 uses a later version of winrt (and by extension winapi)

Yes, it works, thanks :)
It is a metro style notification bubble with blue background.
Btw, how to create a system tray bubble (the one with yellow/white background)?

That would use the Shell_NotifyIcon call.

It would be the way to get something like notifications in windows 7.
