I'm writing a program that uses has an icon in the taskbar, and no other window, using TaskBarIcon. I need to change that icon to a different one when the user moves their mouse over the icon: my initial hope was that there'd be a WX.EVT_TASKBAR_MOUSEOVER, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I then tried doing something with EVT_ENTER_WINDOW and EVT_LEAVE_WINDOW but given it's the taskbar icon and not the window, it doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thank you

From what I understand, this TaskBarIcon-thing is a systray-icon on
Windows. I don't know about other platforms (manual says TaskBarIcon
is supported on Windows and the newer X window managers), but on
Windows, I don't believe one is supposed to be able to do what you are
seeking to do.
The only thing that is supposed to happen on mouse-over is tooltip
show/hide. And you can set the tooltip string using
wxTaskBarIcon::SetIcon.

Have you tried EVT_TASKBAR_MOVE? What is the purpose of changing the icon on mouseover? Perhaps something different could be done to get a similar effect and still fulfill the purpose?
