the news, win 32 edition

a win 32 edition of the first page of notifications from my UWP app

download

download it from the releases or download a dev build from the actions.

you can use the standalone exe or the dll. to use the dll look at the section below.

how 2 use as a dll in c/c++

download the dll from the respective page and then include the "thenews.h" file. then you could do something like this:

#include "thenews.h"

int main() {
    // you can do anything from the thenews.h file, but for this example we will use the random toast function
    ShowRandomToast()
    return 0;
}

then just compile with whatever compiler you use and use the .a or the .lib provided in the download!

building it yourself

if you want to build it yourself, you have to install visual studio 2022. when you install it, use the "x86/x64 Native Command Prompt for VS 2022". this command prompt has the compiling tools you need. then just run build.bat for an exe or buildDLL.bat if you want a dll.
