  30     @class wxTaskBarIcon
  31
  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.
  35
  36
  37     @section taskbaricon_xnote X Window System Note
  38
  39     Under X Window System, the window manager must support either the
  40     "System Tray Protocol" (see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/systemtray-spec)
  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.
  50
  51     @beginEventTable{wxTaskBarIconEvent}
  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.

 137
 138         On Unix, X11 environment may or may not provide the tray, depending on
 139         user's desktop environment. Most modern desktops support the tray via

 144               under X11 and so applications shouldn't cache the result.

 146         @note wxTaskBarIcon supports older GNOME 1.2 and KDE 1/2 methods of
 147               adding icons to tray, but they are unreliable and this method
 148               doesn't detect them.
