Does anything need to be enabled for this function to work? On my Win, nothing happens.
Is this supposed to send a notification?

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Dialog.ShowTrayMessage("May the force be with you!");

There are a few of things that might prevent the tray messages from showing:

If the tray icon for DisplayFusion is in the hidden area on the taskbar.
If the entry for DisplayFusion is set to Off in Windows Settings > System > Notifications.
If "Do Not Disturb" is enabled in Windows Settings > System > Notifications.
If "Focus mode" is enable in Windows Settings > System > Notifications.
If "Don't show tray icon notification balloons" is enabled in DisplayFusion Settings > Advanced Settings.

Thanks for the scenarios.

😍 DisplayFusion

Referencing the attachment:

Under Advanced Settings I had the fist two tray options 'on'. When I turn General setting #2 'off', I can see balloons from spawned scripts (❌)and from my direct calls within my scripts, like "BFS.Dialog.ShowTrayMessage("May the force be with you!"); (✔️).

I cannot see where General setting #1 makes any difference. What is that setting specifically for?

Lastly, is there a setting combo to show my forced balloons (✔️), but not the ones from spawned scripts?

There isn't a way currently, but we'll put another advanced setting on our list to add that would let you disable the "Running" notification

Thanks, Keith!

Really enjoying scripting! Again, hats off to Binary Fortress for great software. So impressive and, as a developer myself, hope everyone understands that no software is or can be perfect and that DF must operate within the constraints of Microsoft Windows itself.

Check out this cool utility I installed today (see attachment). This download supercedes the email Zoom question I submitted.

Thanks for the kind words! Nice looking utility, and funny enough, we've been working on a Screen Zoom function in DisplayFusion, and it's in the DisplayFusion 11 beta that we just released today
