Ringhio Notifications ProgressBar Example

Introduction

This is a basic example in C of how to use the latest Ringhio Notifications to display a notification bubble displaying an incrementing progress bar.

It can be reused in many applications where the progress of a file operation can be monitored in the background by the user and does not need to be displayed in focus or inside a window.

The source code example requires the latest Ringhio Notifications and ProgressBar_Gadget_Class to be installed.
