When user do something in desktop, it will show the first notification.

When user touch the first notification,  it will show the second notification.
And the second notification have some object can be select.

But I have no idea.

Does anyone have similar experiences?

Hi Hatasum,

What part of this are you having trouble with? It would help if you would provide the specific code you are using, exactly where you have the problem, what the expected results are, and what the actual results are.

You mention that you've read the toast documentation and seen the sample code, but I'll link it here as well for reference:

Quickstart: Sending a toast notification from the desktop
Sending toast notifications from desktop apps sample 

You can use this code to send a toast from your desktop application to show the first notification. When the user clicks on it your app will receive the Activated event and can show a custom window with more information, your selectable object, etc.

Hi, Rob

I have a desktop app programmed with C++ from which I can send a toast notification to either desktop or metro screen. what I want to do more is to display a multi-selection message dialog after I have clicked the toast notification. all of the behaviors is exactly same as what has happened after a removable device is inserted into a PC with windows 8 installed. First, it's a "usb drive" popup message, secondly, if you tap the message, a multi-selection message dialog shows up. Do you know how I can do this?

thanks
