Siticone Snackbar

The SiticoneSnackbar is a lightweight, non-intrusive notification component. It appears briefly at the bottom of the parent form (or screen) to provide contextual feedback, confirmations, or alerts without interrupting the user's workflow. It features smooth slide-up and slide-down animations and automatically dismisses itself after a set duration.

Appearance

Customize the visual style of the snackbar to match your application theme.

Property	Type	Description & Usage Example
`BackColor`	Color	snackbar.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(32, 32, 32); The background color of the notification popup. Defaults to a dark gray.
`MessageForeColor`	Color	snackbar.MessageForeColor = Color.White; The color of the text message displayed inside the snackbar.
`Font`	Font	snackbar.Font = new Font("Segoe UI", 10); The font used for rendering the message text.

Behavior & Timing

Control how long the notification remains visible.

Property	Type	Description & Usage Example
`Duration`	int	snackbar.Duration = 3000; Time in milliseconds the snackbar stays visible before sliding down. Default is 3000ms (3 seconds).

Public Methods

ShowSnackbar(string message)

// Displays the snackbar with the specified message.
// It will animate up from the bottom of the active form.
siticoneSnackbar1.ShowSnackbar("Changes saved successfully!");

If the control cannot find an active parent form, it will attempt to display at the bottom of the primary screen.

Events

Lifecycle Events

// 1. SnackbarShown
// Fires immediately when the ShowSnackbar method is called and the animation begins.

{
                Console.WriteLine("Notification visible.");
};

// 2. SnackbarHidden
// Fires after the slide-down animation completes and the popup closes.
snackbar.SnackbarHidden += (s, e) => 
{
                Console.WriteLine("Notification dismissed.");
};

Detailed Usage Examples

Example 1: Basic Operation Confirmation

A simple usage scenario for confirming a user action like saving data.

C# - Save Confirmation

private void BtnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
                SaveDataToDatabase();
    
                // Notify user without blocking UI
    siticoneSnackbar1.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(40, 167, 69); // Success Green
    siticoneSnackbar1.ShowSnackbar("Data saved successfully.");
}

Example 2: Async Task Notification

Triggering the snackbar after a long-running asynchronous process completes.

C# - Async Feedback

private async void BtnDownload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    lblStatus.Text = "Downloading...";
                await Task.Delay(2000); // Simulate work
    
    lblStatus.Text = "Ready";
    
                // Customize for "Info" style
    siticoneSnackbar1.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 123, 255); // Info Blue
    siticoneSnackbar1.Duration = 4000; // Stay a bit longer
    siticoneSnackbar1.ShowSnackbar("Download complete. File is ready.");
}

Example 3: Error Reporting

Using the snackbar to unobtrusively report non-critical errors.

C# - Error Alert

try
{
                ProcessFile();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
                // Style as Error
    siticoneSnackbar1.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(220, 53, 69); // Danger Red
    siticoneSnackbar1.MessageForeColor = Color.White;
    siticoneSnackbar1.ShowSnackbar($"Error: {ex.Message}");
}
