XP balloon tip for wx.TaskBarIcon

Is there any intent to get this done?

I've tried implementing it in win32 but without success.

If I supplied my Windows implementation, would that help get this in?

TIA

No, it hasn't been done yet.

It's been done already for 2.9, and is called wx.NotificationMessage.

Thanks for the info, Robin.

JOOI: When is 2.9 scheduled for release?
Is the release schedule on-line?

Nice. Is this wxMSW specific?

taskbaricon.py (3.41 KB)

taskbariconDemo.py (2.5 KB)

For now you can use the attached BalloonTaskBarIcon class.

I've had a glance at the 2.9 implementation and the 'msw' build uses
TaskBarIcon but the other platforms don't, so I'm guessing that it's
cross platform.

Thanks for the code. I already had the TaskBarIcon in place and so
wanted to use *that* window handle.
I ended up extending TaskBarIcon in an almost identical way to the work
in 2.9.

The problem I had running it turned out to be because I'd disabled all
Balloon tips using the registry! :blush:

All is well now. :slight_smile:

There's also Andrea's BalloonTip, which should work for this right now:

    Hi,
    I have read some google results regarding wx.TaskBarIcon and XP
    balloon tooltips,
    In one of the results there is a respond from Robin about adding a
    function for getting the tray icon window:

        It think it would probably be possible to add a GetHandle
        method in 2.7.
          wxGTK could have a similar need...

There isn't a schedule for 2.9 releases, but I expect it to be not too far into the future, at least for previews.

So far wxMSW is the only one that has a native implementation, but it is implemented generically for the other platforms.
