DialogNotify not displaying (1 Viewer)

[charli181]

I am trying to write a plugin that just monitors a pop3 account and displays a notification on the screen. In the log files I can see that it is trying to display. This all run on RC2 with svn from 13/9/07. Tried Blue2 normal and wide still with same results.

2007-09-25 11:01:51.023392 [Info.][13]: WindowManager:route MediaPortal.GUI.Music.GUIMusicFiles:501->MediaPortal.Dialogs.GUIDialogNotify:2016
2007-09-25 11:01:54.738734 [Info.][13]: window:MediaPortal.Dialogs.GUIDialogNotify init

And Mediaportal when not in fullscreen shows "Notifications" in Title Bar, but nothing shows on the screen. What am I missing or is something broken.

Can someone check if I am missing something in the code. for displaying the the screen.

dialogNotify = (GUIDialogNotify)GUIWindowManager.GetWindow((int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_DIALOG_NOTIFY);

private static void ShowMessage(string theName)
{
string notifyText = "";
string notifyImage = "";
if (dialogNotify != null)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(theName))
{
notifyText = theName + "\n\n";
//notifyImage = Thumbs.Yac + @"\text-message.jpg";
}
else
{
notifyText = theName + "\n\n" ;
//notifyImage = Thumbs.Yac + @"\text-message.jpg";
}

dialogNotify.SetHeading("Voicemail Alert");
dialogNotify.SetText(notifyText);
//dialogNotify.SetImage(notifyImage);

GUIWindow m_pParentWindow = GUIWindowManager.GetWindow(GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow);
if (null == m_pParentWindow) { return; }
GUIWindowManager.IsSwitchingToNewWindow = true;
GUIWindowManager.RouteToWindow(dialogNotify.GetID);
GUIMessage msg = new GUIMessage(GUIMessage.MessageType.GUI_MSG_WINDOW_INIT, dialogNotify.GetID, 0, 0, -1, 0, null);
dialogNotify.OnMessage(msg);
GUIWindowManager.IsSwitchingToNewWindow = false;
}
}

Here's the code I use in my plugins for showing a popup message.

static void ShowNotifyDialog(string heading, string text, int timeout)
{
GUIDialogNotify dlgNotify = (GUIDialogNotify)GUIWindowManager.GetWindow((int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_DIALOG_NOTIFY);
if (dlgNotify == null)
return;

dlgNotify.Reset();
dlgNotify.ClearAll();
dlgNotify.SetHeading(heading);
dlgNotify.SetText(text);
dlgNotify.TimeOut = timeout;
dlgNotify.DoModal(GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow);
}

I don't use the feature myself, but I haven't had any complaints... let me know if doesn't work for you.

Cheers,
