42 @class wxTaskBarIcon
43
44 This class represents a taskbar icon.
45 A taskbar icon is an icon that appears in the 'system tray' and responds to
46 mouse clicks, optionally with a tooltip above it to help provide information.

50
51 Under X Window System, the window manager must support either the
52 "System Tray Protocol" (see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/systemtray-spec)
53 by freedesktop.org (WMs used by modern desktop environments such as GNOME >= 2,
54 KDE >= 3 and XFCE >= 4 all do) or the older methods used in GNOME 1.2 and KDE 1 and 2.
55
56 If it doesn't, the icon will appear as a toplevel window on user's desktop.
57 Because not all window managers have system tray, there's no guarantee that
58 wxTaskBarIcon will work correctly under X Window System and so the applications
59 should use it only as an optional component of their user interface.
60 The user should be required to explicitly enable the taskbar icon on Unix,
61 it shouldn't be on by default.
62
63 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxTaskBarIconEvent}
64 Note that not all ports are required to send these events and so it's better
65 to override wxTaskBarIcon::CreatePopupMenu() if all that the application does
66 is that it shows a popup menu in reaction to mouse click.
67 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_MOVE(func)}
68 Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_MOVE event.
69 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DOWN(func)}
70 Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DOWN event.
71 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP(func)}
72 Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP event.
73 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN(func)}
74 Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN event.
75 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP(func)}
76 Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP event.
77 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK(func)}
78 Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK event.
79 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DCLICK(func)}
80 Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DCLICK event.
81 @event{EVT_TASKBAR_CLICK(func)}
82 This is a synonym for either EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN or UP depending on
83 the platform, use this event macro to catch the event which should result
84 in the menu being displayed on the current platform.
