ControlUp Script that sends a message box to a user in a Citrix session with a text plus clickable link or URL

I would like a script that sends a message box to a user in a Citrix session with a text plus clickable link or URL. Is that possible? I have tried to edit the "Show Message Dialogue" script but with no luck

I’m currently working on something similar, unless someone else has something already I will post it here when it’s ready

Sounds great! please keep me posted 🙂

You could use a toast popup

How can I configure a toast popup with a clickable link/URL?

@member are your Citrix sessions dedicated Win10 Machines or Shared Session Hosts?

In this case it is Windows 10 multi-session. But it would be nice to have single-session option as well.

Can you try the following which is specific to Win10. It’s not perfect but should get you going:

“`Function ToastMessage {

[cmdletbinding()]

Param (

[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,HelpMessage=’Message Title’)] $MessageTitle,

[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,HelpMessage=’Message for user’)] $MessageText,

[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,HelpMessage=’URL to open when clicked’)] $URL

)

$toastXml = @"

<binding template="ToastGeneric">

<text>$MessageText</text>

</binding>

"@

[Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager, Windows.UI.Notifications, ContentType = WindowsRuntime] > $null

[Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument, Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument, ContentType = WindowsRuntime]

[Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotification, Windows.UI.Notifications, ContentType = WindowsRuntime]

$xml = New-Object Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument

$xml.LoadXml(([xml]$toastXml).OuterXml)

$toast = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotification]::new($xml)

$toast.Tag = $MessageTitle

$toast.Group = $MessageTitle

$toast.ExpirationTime = [DateTimeOffset]::Now.AddMinutes(5)

$notifier = [Windows.UI.Notifications.ToastNotificationManager]::CreateToastNotifier($MessageTitle)

$notifier.Show($toast);

}

ToastMessage -MessageTitle "Hello" -MessageText "Here is text" -URL "http://controlup.com"“`

Wow that was awsome! :star-struck: Exactrly what I was looking for!

Is it possible to make it stay visable and not go away until you click on it?

Edit: Nevermind, found it in Windows settings

tbh I’m not sure if we can override the windows setting via the script. Have a play around and if you find out how to do it let me know! 👍
