InappNotification - Severity Level

[Pinox]

Hi Guys,

Currently the inappnotification control for VSCodeNotificationStyle simply displays an "blue" info tag eg.

It would be useful if this control is in sync with the InfoBar control in WinUI 3.0 where you can pass the severity level.

eg.

ExampleInAppNotification.Show("Some text.", duration , severitylevel , severitycolor);

Thanks @Pinox, I believe our plan is to swap out the internal display of the InAppNotification with an actual InfoBar, so when that happens we should just expose the InfoBar's property for this.

thanks @michael-hawker .

The infobar does not have a display duration therefor me raising this enhancement for inappnotification. Will display duration then be added to infobar to bring feature parity with inappnotifications ?

@Pinox I think they're thinking about it in WinUI, but not sure. So until they do, we'll keep the InAppNotification around. I'm just saying we'll swap out the internals of its template to just be a wrapper around InfoBar itself rather than having a whole custom style.

Happy to leave this open for tracking.

@vgromfeld is this something you'd need? I was thinking we'd just have InAppNotification use an InfoBar internally and then we could just expose the Severity property.

[vgromfeld]

I don't have this need yet 😊, but I agree that we can use InfoBar as the base brick for the InAppNotificationControl.

InfoBar has an IsIconVisible property to control if the Severity indicator should be displayed or not. I guess we should also have it if we add the Severity support.

Thanks @vgromfeld I'll leave these in the milestone then and we'll see if you or someone picks them up before we ship.
