pywinrt desktop notifications: how do I know when the user inputs something or presses a button?

[N3RDIUM]

import winrt.windows.ui.notifications as notifications
import winrt.windows.data.xml.dom as dom

nManager = notifications.ToastNotificationManager
notifier = nManager.create_toast_notifier(r"C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe")

tString = """
<toast>
    <visual>
        <binding template='ToastGeneric'>
            <text>Another Message from Tim!</text>
            <text>Hi there!</text>
        </binding>
    </visual>

    <actions>
        <input id="textBox" type="text" placeHolderContent="Type a reply"/>
        <action
            content="Send"
            arguments="action=reply&amp;convId=01"
            activationType="background"
            hint-inputId="textBox"/>
            
        <action
            content="Button 1"
            arguments="action=viewdetails&amp;contentId=02"
            activationType="foreground"/>
    </actions>

</toast>
"""

xDoc = dom.XmlDocument()
xDoc.load_xml(tString)

notification = notifications.ToastNotification(xDoc)

#display notification
notifier.show(notification)

This is my code.
How do I get a button to call a function when it is pressed?
Also, How do I get input from the text input and change the value of a progress bar?

You can connect events by calling <event_token> = <object>.add_<event>(<event_handler>). So in your case, something like this:

def handle_activated(sender, _):
    ...

activated_token = notification.add_activated(handle_activated)

...

# later, disconnect the event handler, if needed
notification.remove_activated(activated_token)

Also, be aware that handle_activated() will not be called on the main Python thread.

[N3RDIUM]

The code gives the Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "f:/coding/python/windowsGoodies/Notifications/test.py", line 38, in <module>
    activated_token = notifier.add_activated(handle_activated)
AttributeError: '_winrt_Windows_UI_Notifications.ToastNotifier' object has no attribute 'add_activated'

Here is the updated code:

import winrt.windows.ui.notifications as notifications
import winrt.windows.data.xml.dom as dom

nManager = notifications.ToastNotificationManager
notifier = nManager.create_toast_notifier(r"C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe")

tString = """
<toast>
    <visual>
        <binding template='ToastGeneric'>
            <text>Another Message from Tim!</text>
            <text>Hi there!</text>
        </binding>
    </visual>

    <actions>
        <input id="textBox" type="text" placeHolderContent="Type a reply"/>
        <action
            content="Send"
            arguments="action=reply&amp;convId=01"
            activationType="background"
            hint-inputId="textBox"/>
    </actions>
</toast>
"""

xDoc = dom.XmlDocument()
xDoc.load_xml(tString)

notification = notifications.ToastNotification(xDoc)

#display notification
notifier.show(notification)

def handle_activated(sender, _):
    print([sender,_])

activated_token = notifier.add_activated(handle_activated)

[dlech]

It looks like the activated event is on the ToastNotification object and not the ToastNotifier object.

[N3RDIUM]

It gives this:

[<_winrt_Windows_UI_Notifications.ToastNotification object at 0x03C75560>, <_winrt._winrt_base object at 0x03C75570>]

and I need the input text or button argument name.
also, how do I set the value of progress bars?

[N3RDIUM]

when I do dir(_) in handle_activated it shows

 ['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__']
