Simple Toast with definable attribution area text

I am using C# WPF .net 4.8.1.
I want to show a notification Toast with my app and so far everything works as intended, but one little, but important, thing:

toast

There is a Dev-Debug as Title not what I thought (Header Title) would be shown. And even worse, the documentation states, that where this Dev-Debug is shown would be the "Attribution Area". But even the AttributionText is not shown where I want it. And when I click on the notifications area in Windows it looks like this: notify area So the Dev-Debug is used as some kind of grouping item where all toasts are put together. But I wanted only a simple one with the name of my application and a simple message.

This is my code: App.xaml.cs:

ToastNotificationManagerCompat.OnActivated += toastArgs =>
{
    ToastArguments args = ToastArguments.Parse(toastArgs.Argument);
    ValueSet userInput = toastArgs.UserInput;
    Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(delegate
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Toast activated. Args: " + toastArgs.Argument);
    });
};

And the toast itself:

public Toast()
{
    ToastContentBuilder test = new ToastContentBuilder();
    test.AddAttributionText("TestAttributionText");
    test.AddHeader(Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),"TestHeaderTitle", "TestHeaderArgument");
    test.AddArgument("TestKey", "TestValue");
    test.AddText("TestText");
    test.Show(toast =>
    {
        toast.ExpirationTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(2);
    });
}

Has someone an idea how to show just a simple header with a simple text?

Solution

  • You might not see this in older versions of Windows, but the app's name (which I guess is the "Dev-Debug" in your case) and icon are always displayed in the attribution area on Windows 11. You cannot remove it.

    This is documented here.
