If your system supports the new modern features (Version > Windows 8.1) available in Windows 10, you can add some interesting fields as:

• Actions: you can add your own actions, this fact allow you to interact with user in a different way:

WinToastTemplate templ = WinToastTemplate(WinToastTemplate::Text02);
templ.setTextField(L"Do you think this feature is cool?", WinToastTemplate::FirstLine);
templ.setTextField(L"Ofc,it is!", WinToastTemplate::SecondLine);

std::vector<std::wstring> actions;
actions.push_back(L"Yes");
actions.push_back(L"No");
for (auto const &action : actions)	
    templ.addAction(action);
WinToast::instance()->showToast(templ, handler) 

• Attribution text: you can add/remove the attribution text, by default is empty. Use WinToastTemplate::setAttributionText to modify it.
• Duration: The amount of time the toast should display. This attribute can have one of the following values: - System: default system configuration.
  • Short: default system short time configuration.
  • Long: default system long time configuration.
• Audio Properties: you can modify the different behaviors of the sound:
  • Default: plays the audio file just one time.
  • Silent: turn off the sound.
  • Loop: plays the given sound in a loop during the toast existence.

WinToast allows the modification of the default audio file. Add the given file in to your projects resources (must be ms-appx:// or ms-appdata:// path) and define it by calling: WinToastTemplate::setAudioPath

By default, WinToast checks if your systems support the features, ignoring the not supported ones.

WinToast::WinToastError error;
const bool succedded = WinToast::instance()->initialize(&error);
if (!succedded) {  
    std::wcout << L"Error, could not initialize the lib. Error number: " 
    << error << std::endl;
}
...
// Configure the template
...
const bool launched = WinToast::instance()->showToast(templ, handler, &error);
if (!launched) {
    std::wcout << L"Error: Could not launch your toast notification. Error: "
     << error << std::endl;
}

using namespace WinToastLib;
....
if (!WinToast::isCompatible()) {
    std::wcout << L"Error, your system in not supported!" << std::endl;
}

WinToast::instance()->setAppName(L"WinToastExample");
const auto aumi = WinToast::configureAUMI(L"mohabouje", L"wintoast", L"wintoastexample", L"20161006");
WinToast::instance()->setAppUserModelId(aumi);	

if (!WinToast::instance()->initialize()) {
  std::wcout << L"Error, could not initialize the lib!" << std::endl;
}

WinToastHandlerExample* handler = new WinToastHandlerExample;
WinToastTemplate templ = WinToastTemplate(WinToastTemplate::ImageAndText02);
templ.setImagePath(L"C:/example.png");
templ.setTextField(L"title", WinToastTemplate::FirstLine);
templ.setTextField(L"subtitle", WinToastTemplate::SecondLine);

if (!WinToast::instance()->showToast(templ, handler)) {
    std::wcout << L"Error: Could not launch your toast notification!" << std::endl;
}
