<section id="GUID-C54403DE-9572-417C-9BA3-839C6C433C00"><title>Using
information notes in C++ applications</title><p>You can create either a basic
information note that is displayed only when your application is in the foreground
or a global note that stays displayed even if the application launching the
note is not in the foreground. The related APIs are the Notes
API (for basic notes) and the Notifiers
API (for global notes).</p><p>To use an information note with the default
icon, text, sound, and duration, create an instance of the note class <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknInformationNote.html" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknInformationNote</codeph></xref>.
 For implementation infomation, see Creating
a non-waiting information (basic) note. </p><p>To create a global information
note, use the class <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknGlobalNote.html" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknGlobalNote</codeph></xref> in
the Notifiers
API. For implementation information, see Using
global notes and Using
global notes with user interaction.</p><p>For basic notes, you can
change the icon or text displayed in the note, use a different kind of sound,
or change the note duration using the setter methods in the class <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>CAknNoteDialog</codeph></xref>: <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html#bfce8dc1591cae822feca43a093a11a9" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>SetIconL</codeph></xref>, <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html#ae7db1ca3d39de28ae4793b4e7cf79cb" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>SetTextL</codeph></xref>, <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html#5f887d8738ed0f061a1c9e82cf3a14a5" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>SetTone</codeph></xref>, and <xref href="jar:GUID-759FBC7F-5384-4487-8457-A8D4B76F6AA6.jar!/html/classCAknNoteDialog.html#8778e804a7709588a4cd23134f79674c" format="application/java-archive"><codeph>SetTimeout</codeph></xref>.</p><p>For information on customizing
