Hi
I want to display all the text on the system notification, but extra long text shows ellipses. Also need to use line breaks to wrap the displayed text.
The code is placed in the following link, and the commented out lines 133 and 134 are the desired system notification effects.
DesktopToasts's MainWindow.xaml.cs
The following is the content of the XML for setting notifications.
<toast>
<visual>
<binding template="ToastText04">
<text id="1">Title0123456</text>
<text id="2" hintMaxLines="1" TextWrapping="NoWrap">Add text without wrap1.Add text without wrap2.Add text without wrap3.\nAdd text without wrap4.Add text without wrap5.Add text without wrap6.</text>
<text id="3" hintMaxLines="1">The third line.Add text without wrap1 third line1.Add text without wrap2 third line2.\nAdd text without wrap3 third line3.</text>
</binding>
</visual>
</toast>
The system notification displays as follows:
The third line is not displayed
I want the system notification to display as shown in the following image
How should I construct XML to achieve system notification display like this?

According to Toast content schema Text elements:
Since the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, you can control how many lines of text are displayed by using the HintMaxLines property on the text. The default (and maximum) is up to 2 lines of text for the title, and up to 4 lines (combined) for the two additional description elements (the second and third AdaptiveText).
And AppNotificationBuilder.AddText Method:
A maximum of three text elements can be added to an app notification.
And according to my test, the notification UI shows characters ending with a \n as a text element.
So, your desired notification needs five text elements actually while A maximum of three text elements can be added to an app notification.
It doesn't matter how many lines are displayed in the notification, just display it as shown in the following image. What should I do?

The code 133 and 134 lines in DesktopToasts's MainWindow.xaml.cs can display the effect on the image.
How to make ultra long text automatically display ellipses?
I have written the XML from the above images into the code, but the notification is not displayed.
The following modifications have been made to the XML.
<toast launch="action=viewRestaurant&restaurantid=92187">
<visual>
<binding template="ToastText04">
<text id="1" hint-maxLines="1">New suggested restaurantdddfffdfdssdsdffvvdddccvsddhsjdfshd</text>
<text id="2" hint-maxlines="1">There's a popular chinese restaurant near you that we think you'd like!</text>

</toast>
The notification displays the following image
The result of program execution is different from the result of Notification Visualizer.
Can you help me try using code in MainWindow.xaml.cs?
Thank you very much.
The ToastText04 template doesn't support to add extra elements.
The real notification does be different from the preview slightly. It seems the XML maxlines property doesn't work for the second and third text.
You may use one text element and some groups for a workaround.
string xmlString1 =
"<toast>" +
"<visual>" +
"<binding template=\"ToastGeneric\">" +
"<text>Title0123456</text>" +
"<group>" +
"<subgroup>" +
"<text> Pho Licioussdffghhjkkklllkkjjhhhgggggggfffdddssaasddfffgggħhhhhjjjkkkk </text>" +
"<text> 4.6 starsvbbnnhgvvccxxzxxcvvbnnnmmnnbbvvcccvbbnnnmmm.,,,</text>" +
"</subgroup>" +
"</group>" +
"<group>" +
"<subgroup>" +
"<text> 4018 148th Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052nnnnnbbbvccxxzxcccvvvbbbbnnmmmmmmmmmmmmm </text>" +
"</subgroup>" +
"</group>" +
"</binding>" +
"</visual>" +
"</toast>";
The ToastGeneric and group in XML does not work and the content is not displayed on Win10.
Is there any other way?
@Thomas Zuo, I have updated my comment.
Is your operating environment Win11?
The ToastGeneric does not work on Win10.
I want it to work well on both Win10 and Win11
Yes. I tested on Win11 and it works.
The ToastGeneric does not work on Win10.
XML error? not showing groups? You can also try Notifications Visualizer on Win10.
The ToastGeneric does not display notifications on win10.
Change to ToastText04, the notification is displayed
The content in the group is not displayed
ToastGeneric should work. I also see many XML in questions about toasts on Windows 10 use it. You may try the simplest ToastGeneric notification and Notifications Visualizer.
I will write your XML in the MainWindow.xaml.cs, and notifications will not be displayed on Win10.
I can't install Notification Visualizer and accessing the Microsoft Store is not allowed.
Can you help me try it on Win10?
Thank you very much
I tested it well on Win10 and need to add activationType=protocol to the toast
Thank you very much.
string xmlString1 =
"<toast activationType=\"protocol\">" +
"<visual>" +
"<binding template=\"ToastGeneric\">" +
"<text>Title0123456</text>" +
"<group>" +
