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

[<pie...@ba...>]

Hello,

I would like to know how I can make a Pythoncard application that hides in
the (Windows) system tray when the window is minimized & that re-appears if
I doubleclick on the system-tray icon. It would also be nice if a menu
appears when the tray icon is right-clicked...

Can anyone help me with this?

I've done solution like this once, but unfortunately I lost the code
on hard drive crash. The article at wxPython wiki named
FlashingTaskbarIcon was really helpful for me. You have to use wxPython
to do it, but it's very siple to implement to work with PythonCard
application.

I'd love to help you more, but I have to hurry right now, so
I'll throw this link to you. I hope that helps.

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.
