Attributes and Elements
Attributes
Attribute | Description | Data type | Required | Default value |
---|---|---|---|---|
addImageQuery | Set to "true" to allow Windows to append a query string to the image URI supplied in the toast notification. Use this attribute if your server hosts images and can handle query strings, either by retrieving an image variant based on the query strings or by ignoring the query string and returning the image as specified without the query string. This query string specifies scale, contrast setting, and language; for instance, a value of "www.website.com/images/hello.png" given in the notification becomes "www.website.com/images/hello.png?ms-scale=100&ms-contrast=standard&ms-lang=en-us" |
boolean | No | false |
baseUri | A default base URI that is combined with relative URIs in image source attributes. |
anyURI | No | ms-appx:/// |
branding | Not used. |
This attribute can have one of the following values:
|
No | None |
lang | The target locale of the XML payload, specified as BCP-47 language tags such as "en-US" or "fr-FR". This locale is overridden by any locale specified in binding or text. If this value is a literal string, this attribute defaults to the user's UI language. If this value is a string reference, this attribute defaults to the locale chosen by Windows Runtime in resolving the string. |
string | No | None |
version | The version of the toast XML schema this particular payload was developed for. |
integer | No | 1 |
