30 @class wxTaskBarIcon

32 This class represents a taskbar icon.
33 A taskbar icon is an icon that appears in the 'system tray' and responds to
34 mouse clicks, optionally with a tooltip above it to help provide information.

c6cf894a 37 @section taskbaricon_xnote X Window System Note
76ef2d39 38
c6cf894a 39 Under X Window System, the window manager must support either the
4876436a 40 "System Tray Protocol" (see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/systemtray-spec)
c6cf894a
FM
41 by freedesktop.org (WMs used by modern desktop environments such as GNOME >= 2,
42 KDE >= 3 and XFCE >= 4 all do) or the older methods used in GNOME 1.2 and KDE 1 and 2.
43
44 If it doesn't, the icon will appear as a toplevel window on user's desktop.
45 Because not all window managers have system tray, there's no guarantee that
46 wxTaskBarIcon will work correctly under X Window System and so the applications
47 should use it only as an optional component of their user interface.
48 The user should be required to explicitly enable the taskbar icon on Unix,
49 it shouldn't be on by default.

52 Note that not all ports are required to send these events and so it's better
53 to override wxTaskBarIcon::CreatePopupMenu() if all that the application does
54 is that it shows a popup menu in reaction to mouse click.
55 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_MOVE(func)}
56 Process a wxEVT_TASKBAR_MOVE event.
57 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DOWN(func)}
58 Process a wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DOWN event.
59 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP(func)}
60 Process a wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP event.
61 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN(func)}
62 Process a wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN event.
63 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP(func)}
64 Process a wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP event.
65 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK(func)}
66 Process a wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK event.
67 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DCLICK(func)}
68 Process a wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DCLICK event.
69 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_CLICK(func)}
70 This is a synonym for either EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN or UP depending on
71 the platform, use this event macro to catch the event which should result
72 in the menu being displayed on the current platform.
