Hi All
Does anyone have any peice of wxPython code thats cross platform and
allows an app to be minimised in the system tray. I am hoping for
windows/kde/gnome/darwin if possible. I have been playing about and
have a couple of systems that nearly get there but not quite.
I would llike to create an app that does this in the way limewire/skype
etc. do it
Hope you can help
David
Heres sample code that nearly gets there I think - it appears to work
on ubuntu/gnome
import wx
ICON_STATE = 0
BLINK_STATE = 0
ID_ICON_TIMER = wx.NewId()
class TaskBarApp(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title, size = (1, 1),
style=wx.FRAME_NO_TASKBAR|wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE)
self.tbicon = wx.TaskBarIcon()
icon = wx.Icon('yellow.ico', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ICO)
self.tbicon.SetIcon(icon, '')
#wx.EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK(self.tbicon,
self.OnTaskBarLeftDClick)
#wx.EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP(self.tbicon, self.OnTaskBarRightClick)
self.tbicon.Bind(wx.EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK,
self.OnTaskBarLeftDClick)

self.OnTaskBarRightClick)

frame.Center(wx.BOTH)
frame.Show(False)
return True

app.MainLoop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
