taskbar icon screen position

Hi,

I am using wx.TaskBarIcon on Windows and need to get the screen
position of the icon in systray in order to create the frame near it.
I was hoping to get it like this (in MyTaskBarIcon class):

self.Bind(wx.EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP, self.OnTaskBarShow)
def OnTaskBarShow(self, evt):
    screenpos = evt.GetPosition()
    print screenpos

But it throws an error.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Radek

Probably the closest you could get is to use wx.GetMouseState. It won't
tell you the mouse position at the time of the event, but rather at the
time of the call to the function, but that should normally be close enough.

thanks, this did the trick. Radek
