Pop-up from a data field?

Hi,

Is it possible to draw a pop-up notification from a data field? I have a Garmin 1000 Edge app which is working fine. However, I would like it to display some information on the main screen on detection of an event. A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

Cheers!

If you do a complex Data Field and not a simple Data Field, it's possible to do something like this in onUpdate(). But recall, the DF must be showing, and you are limited to the dc of your DF.

to clarify about the "dc", you're only able to display something within the width and height used by your data field so in other words it will work best if your data field is displayed on the complete screen as a single field so that you have the full screen to your availability.

If you want to see a kind of this "popup" in action you can install my All In One data field and wait for the drink reminder to go off (or set it a bit sooner than the default 15' ). My All In One datafield can be found here: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/6dec42e9-7fee-402b-95a4-a111e83d45e3
