### Setup Toast Document for Sending (Python)

Source: https://windows-toasts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/windows_toasts/toasters

Prepares a ToastDocument from a Toast object, converting its content into an XML format suitable for display. It configures various aspects of the toast, including images, duration, timestamps, audio, attribution text, scenario, and launch actions. This method is typically used internally before showing a toast.

```python
    def _setup_toast(self, toast: Toast, dynamic: bool) -> ToastDocument:
        """
        Setup toast to send. Should generally be used internally

        :return: XML built from the toast
        """
        # Should this be done in ToastDocument?
        toastContent = ToastDocument(toast)
        for image in toast.images:
            toastContent.AddImage(image)

        if toast.duration != ToastDuration.Default:
            toastContent.SetDuration(toast.duration)

        if toast.timestamp is not None:
            toastContent.SetCustomTimestamp(toast.timestamp)

        if toast.audio is not None:
            toastContent.SetAudioAttributes(toast.audio)

        if toast.attribution_text is not None:
            toastContent.SetAttributionText(toast.attribution_text)

        if toast.scenario != ToastScenario.Default:
            toastContent.SetScenario(toast.scenario)

        if toast.launch_action is not None:
            toastContent.SetAttribute(toastContent.GetElementByTagName("toast"), "launch", toast.launch_action)
            toastContent.SetAttribute(toastContent.GetElementByTagName("toast"), "activationType", "protocol")
        else:
            toastContent.SetAttribute(toastContent.GetElementByTagName("toast"), "launch", toast.tag)

        return toastContent

```

### Initialize InteractableWindowsToaster

Source: https://windows-toasts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/windows_toasts/toasters

Initializes the InteractableWindowsToaster with provided application text and an optional notifier AUMID. If no AUMID is provided, it defaults to the Command Prompt's AUMID. This setup is crucial for enabling interactive toast features.

```python
def __init__(self, applicationText: str, notifierAUMID: Optional[str] = None):
    super().__init__(applicationText)
    if notifierAUMID is None:
        self.defaultAUMID = True
        self.notifierAUMID = "{1AC14E77-02E7-4E5D-B744-2EB1AE5198B7}\\cmd.exe"
    else:
        self.defaultAUMID = False

### Schedule Toast Notification with Python

Source: https://windows-toasts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced_usage

This code example shows how to schedule a toast notification to appear at a specific future time. It utilizes the `datetime` and `timedelta` objects from Python's standard library along with the `WindowsToaster` and `Toast` classes from `windows-toasts`. The toast is configured with text and a display time set to 10 seconds from the current time.

```python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from windows_toasts import WindowsToaster, Toast

ttoaster = WindowsToaster('Python')

# Schedule toast to display 10 seconds from now
displayTime = datetime.now() + timedelta(seconds=10)
newToast = Toast([f'This will pop up at {displayTime}'])

ttoaster.schedule_toast(newToast, displayTime)

```

--------------------------------

### Register Custom AUMID Script - Python

Source: https://windows-toasts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_sources/custom_aumid.rst

```python
register_hkey_aumid.py
```

--------------------------------

### Combine Buttons and Input Fields in Toast (Python)

Source: https://windows-toasts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_sources/interactable.rst

Illustrates how to create a toast notification that combines text input fields and action buttons. This example sets a text field for the user's name, adds a 'Submit' button, and configures the `on_activated` callback to print the user's input when the submit button is pressed.

```python
from windows_toasts import InteractableWindowsToaster, Toast, ToastInputTextBox, ToastButton

interactableToaster = InteractableWindowsToaster('Questionnaire')
newToast = Toast()

newToast.text_fields = ['What\'s your name?']
newToast.AddInput(ToastInputTextBox('name', 'Your name', 'Barack Obama'))
newToast.AddAction(ToastButton('Submit', 'submit'))
newToast.on_activated = lambda activatedEventArgs: print(activatedEventArgs.input)

interactableToaster.show_toast(newToast)
```

--------------------------------

### Launch Protocols with Toast Buttons (Python)

Source: https://windows-toasts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_sources/migration.rst

Shows how to create toasts with buttons that launch specific protocols, such as websites or applications. This feature allows for direct user interaction with external applications or URLs from a toast notification.

```python
from windows_toasts import InteractableWindowsToaster, Toast, ToastButton

protocol_toast = Toast(['Click the toast to launch google.com', 'or, alternatively'], launch_action='https://google.com')

bing_button = ToastButton('Launch Bing', launch='https://bing.com')
baidu_button = ToastButton('Launch Baidu', launch='https://baidu.com')

protocol_toast.AddAction(bing_button)
protocol_toast.AddAction(baidu_button)

InteractableWindowsToaster('Browser Launcher').show_toast(protocol_toast)
```

--------------------------------

### Toast Configuration: v0.x vs v1.0.0 (Python)

Source: https://windows-toasts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migration

Demonstrates the differences in configuring toasts between version 0.x and 1.0.0 of the Windows-Toasts library. It shows how to initialize a toast, set text fields, and set duration, highlighting the removal of SetX methods in favor of direct attribute modification.

```python
from windows_toasts import WindowsToaster, ToastDuration

from windows_toasts import ToastText2

tost = ToastText2()

tost.SetHeadline('Hello,')
tost.SetBody('World!')

tost.SetDuration(ToastDuration.Short)

WindowsToaster('Python').show_toast(toast)
```

```python
from windows_toasts import WindowsToaster, ToastDuration

from windows_toasts import Toast

tost = Toast()

tost.text_fields = ['Hello', 'World!']
# Or, directly, toast = Toast(['Hello', 'World!'])

tost.duration = ToastDuration.short

WindowsToaster('Python').show_toast(toast)
```

```diff
from windows_toasts import WindowsToaster, ToastDuration

- from windows_toasts import ToastText2
+ from windows_toasts import Toast

- toast = ToastText2()
+ toast = Toast()

- toast.SetHeadline('Hello,')
- toast.SetBody('World!')
+ toast.text_fields = ['Hello', 'World!']

- toast.SetDuration(ToastDuration.Short)
+ toast.duration = ToastDuration.short

WindowsToaster('Python').show_toast(toast)
```

--------------------------------

### Simplify Toast Initialization and Configuration (Python)

Source: https://windows-toasts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_sources/migration.rst

```python
from windows_toasts import WindowsToaster, ToastDuration

from windows_toasts import Toast

trust = Toast()

trust.text_fields = ['Hello', 'World!']
# Or, directly, toast = Toast(['Hello', 'World!'])

trust.duration = ToastDuration.short

WindowsToaster('Python').show_toast(toast)
```

```diff
from windows_toasts import WindowsToaster, ToastDuration

- from windows_toasts import ToastText2
+ from windows_toasts import Toast

- toast = ToastText2()
+ toast = Toast()

- toast.SetHeadline('Hello,')
- toast.SetBody('World!')
+ toast.text_fields = ['Hello', 'World!']

- toast.SetDuration(ToastDuration.Short)
+ toast.duration = ToastDuration.short

WindowsToaster('Python').show_toast(toast)
```

### Remove Toast Notification with Python

Source: https://windows-toasts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced_usage

This example demonstrates how to programmatically remove a toast notification using the `windows-toasts` library. The `remove_toast` method is called on the `WindowsToaster` instance. A common use case is to automatically remove a toast when it is dismissed to the action center, achieved by assigning a callback to `on_dismissed`.

```python
from windows_toasts import WindowsToaster, Toast

ttoaster = WindowsToaster("Python")

newToast = Toast(["Disappearing act"])
# Remove the toast when it is dismissed
newToast.on_dismissed = lambda _: toaster.remove_toast(newToast)

ttoaster.show_toast(newToast)


```
