About this Article:

One of the more interesting new user interface ideas to emerge in recent months is a type of pop-up message called a toast. Essentially, it's a small window, designed to alert the user to some condition or event, or simply to display a useful piece of information. Just like a slice of bread emerging from a toaster, the message pops up from the bottom of the screen. It stays visible for a few moments, then quietly slides out of sight. This article shows you how to add toast to your applications.
