Hello, 
Working on Android those days, I'm not a big fan of Android SDK but I have to 
say one thing : some of their widgets are quite useful. For example, the Toast 
allows to display a message on top of the current window (something like a TIP 
message), for a short time, independant of mouse position, and in a 
non-blocking way. It can be triggered with any action. Main Android Toast 
limitation is that it appears only at the bottom of the screen. Could a new 
control like this be part of IUP plans for the next versions ? 

Globally, I cannot find any function in IUP like the Toast that could allow to 
display something on top of another control in a non blocking way. I know the 
TIP is available as a set of attributes of controls, but as an attribute, it 
cannot be triggered like the Toast. 
This feature could also be presented like a container, allowing to display an 
element on top of a Dialog, for a certain time (element that wouldn't be 
modal). But maybe the Dialog version could be a big work. I would also be glad 
of a simple text / and list display. 
Not sure if it is clear ? 
Also, and it can complete (or replace) the last proposition, is it in IUP plans 
to take care of system native notifications ? I know Linux and Windows have 
those kind of dialogs, which appear for a short time, but I don't know about 
the others OS's supported by IUP. 
Thanks in advance
Johann
