Re: [Pythoncard-users] Minimizing a Pythoncard application to the tray

[Adam R. <Ada...@ch...>]

basically you'll need the following code(put in on_openBackground):
        #make the TaskBar icon
        self.tbIcon = wxTaskBarIcon()
        icon = wxIcon(cwd+"/"+'favicon.ico', wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO)
        self.tbIcon.SetIcon(icon, "My Application")
        wx.EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK(self.tbIcon,self.OnTaskBarActivate)
        wx.EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP(self.tbIcon, self.OnTaskBarMenu)
        wx.EVT_MENU(self.tbIcon, self.TBMENU_RESTORE,self.OnTaskBarActivate)
        wx.EVT_MENU(self.tbIcon, self.TBMENU_CLOSE, self.OnTaskBarClose)
        wx.EVT_IDLE(self,self.idleHandler)
        wx.EVT_CLOSE(self,self.doExit)
Of course, you'll need to define teh functions 
self.OnTaskBarActivate,self.OnTaskBarMenu, etc
Also note you'll need an icon. I happen to use the oh so ubiquitous 
favicon.ico that I used on an accompanying web page.
Hope that helps.
