Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Service with Trayicon and Popup-menu

[Geoffrey S. <geo...@gm...>]

I'm not exactly clear on how you go about adding a tray icon with a
Win32::Daemon since, if I understand correctly, the daemon runs in the
background before a user is even logged in (which I'd assume is also
the reason the daemon can't call Win32::GUI::Dialog).

Is it possible to call Win32::GUI::DoEvents() in your daemon when it's
needed and stop the loop that's calling it when your daemon is going
back to acting like a daemon?

Or would it make sense (it does to me, but then I'm a UNIX person by
background) to have a completely separate process that handles user
interaction with the daemon, which itself just runs in the background
with no UI of its own?
