Hello everyone,
I get two quit menu items on my taskbaricon even though I added only one.
I'd like to bind mac os x's quit button since it's at a standardized place and
that way I only have one quit button but I can figure out how. The only one
that works is the one I added. Does anyone know what's going on and how
to fix this? I using wxPython v2.8.10
Thank you,
Gabriel

If you use the standard IDs for your menu items, etc, then wx should do "the right thing" on the Mac:

Ok, I tested if it was mac and if so then I don create the menu item but just link it to the event's id (wx.ID_EXIT), this works great.
Thanks,

That shouldn't be required -- if you use wx.ID_EXIT for the menu ID on all platforms, it should "just work".
Though if you have something working, why mess with it?

Because it doesn't work. If I create a menu item with the wx.ID_EXIT like so :
self.exitMenuItem = self.menu.Append(wx.ID_EXIT, "Exit")
it adds a menu item (it even replaces "Exit" with "Quit") but there also is
the default mac "Quit" menu item at the bottom. If I don't add it, and just
bind it :
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnExit, id=wx.ID_EXIT)
it works. The code ends up looking like :
#===========================================
class MyTaskBarIcon(wx.TaskBarIcon):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
wx.TaskBarIcon.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnExit, id=wx.ID_EXIT)
icon = wx.Icon("logo.png", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)
self.SetIcon(icon)
def CreatePopupMenu(self):
self.menu = wx.Menu()
if(wx.Platform == "__WXMAC__"):
wx.App.SetMacExitMenuItemId(wx.ID_EXIT)
else:
self.exitMenuItem = self.menu.Append(wx.ID_EXIT, "Exit")
return self.menu
def OnExit(self, evt):
print "OnExit called"
#===========================================
again, if you replace CreatePopupMenu() with this :
#===========================================
def CreatePopupMenu(self):
self.menu = wx.Menu()
self.exitMenuItem = self.menu.Append(wx.ID_EXIT, "Exit")
if(wx.Platform == "__WXMAC__"):
wx.App.SetMacExitMenuItemId(wx.ID_EXIT)
return self.menu
#===========================================
it will have 2 quit menus.

I suppose this is a bug in wx, but not a major one. I haven't done custom taskbar menus, so I hadn't encountered this yet.
Could you please add a note about this to the wiki on the Optimizing for Mac OS-X page? It would be nice for folks to be able to find this in the future.
(the wiki appears to be down at the moment, hopefully it will come back up soon.)

This should not be needed, wx.ID_EXIT is already the default ID for the exit menu.

The magical moving of the stock menu items on OS X is only done for the menubar. For other menus you'll still want to conditionally add items as needed to accommodate the platform differences.

This was fixed in wxPython 2.8.10.1 - upgrade and the problem should go

Yes, problem goes away in 2.8.10.1.
