Getting the Windows handle for the task bar icon

wxPython Users

Hi,

I need to catch win32ts.WTSRegisterSessionNotification messages.
My app doesn't always have a window open, so I was hoping to use it on
the taskbar icon window. But wx.TaskBarIcon doesn't have a GetHandle().

How do I find the window handle?

An earlier posting contains a procedure that supposedly finds it, but
it does not work:

Maybe there's a better way to do this? Is there a window that's always
open in wxPython?

Thanks,
Antonio.

There is a hidden frame associated with the taskbar icon, but the test in the link above is failing because of the "if handle.GetWindowStyle(): continue" statement. The frame does have a style value of 0.

The other tests (no title and size==(400,250)) in that snippet strike me as rather unsafe, since you can make a frame yourself that matches those parameters simply with wx.Frame(None,style=0), but I don't see anything better to search for.
