Detailed Description
KDE System Tray Window class
This class implements system tray windows.
A tray window is a small window (typically 24x24 pixel) that docks into the system tray in the desktop panel. It usually displays an icon or an animated icon there. The icon represents the application, similar to a taskbar button, but consumes less screen space.
When the user clicks with the left mouse button on the icon, the main application window is shown/raised and activated. With the right mouse button, she gets a popupmenu with application specific commands, including "Minimize/Restore" and "Quit".
Docking happens magically when calling show(). The window undocks with either hide() or when it is destroyed.
KSystemTray inherits methods such as setPixmap() and setMovie() to specify an icon or movie (animated icon) respectively. It is designed to be usable "as is", without the need to subclass it. In case you need to provide something special (such as an additional popupmenu on a click with the left mouse button), you can subclass anyway, of course.
Having an icon on the system tray is a useful technique for daemon-like applications that may run for some time without user interaction but have to be there immediately when the user needs them. Examples are kppp, kisdn, kscd, kmix or knotes. With kppp and kisdn, the docked icon even provides real-time information about the network status.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ KSystemTray()
KSystemTray::KSystemTray | ( | TQWidget * | parent = 0 , |
const char * | name = 0 |
||
) |
Construct a KSystemTray widget just like any other widget.
The parent widget parent
has a special meaning: Besides owning the tray window, the parent widget will dissappear from taskbars when it is iconified while the tray window is visible. This is the desired behavior. After all, the tray window is
the parent's taskbar icon.
Furthermore, the parent widget is shown or raised respectively when the user clicks on the trray window with the left mouse button.

Member Function Documentation
◆ actionCollection()
TDEActionCollection * KSystemTray::actionCollection | ( | ) |
Easy access to the actions in the context menu Currently includes KStdAction::Quit and minimizeRestore.
- Since
- 3.1
Definition at line 310 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ contextMenu()
TDEPopupMenu * KSystemTray::contextMenu | ( | ) | const |
Access to the context menu.
This makes it easy to add new items to it.
Definition at line 139 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ contextMenuAboutToShow()
|
protectedvirtual |
Makes it easy to adjust some menu items right before the context menu becomes visible.
Definition at line 178 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ enterEvent()
|
protected |
Reimplemented for internal reasons.
Definition at line 134 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ loadIcon()
|
static |
Loads an icon icon
using the icon loader class of the given instance instance
.
The icon is applied the panel effect as it should only be used to be shown in the system tray. It's commonly used in the form : systray->setPixmap( systray->loadIcon( "mysystray" ) );
- Since
- 3.2
Definition at line 315 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ loadSizedIcon()
|
static |
Loads an icon icon
using the icon loader class of the given instance instance
.
The icon is applied the panel effect as it should only be used to be shown in the system tray. It's commonly used in the form : systray->setPixmap( systray->loadIcon( "mysystray", iconWidth ) ); This is essentially the same as loadIcon(), but with a forced icon size
- Since
- 3.5.12
Definition at line 323 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ mousePressEvent()
|
protected |
Reimplemented to provide the standard show/raise behavior for the parentWidget() and the context menu.
Feel free to reimplement this if you need something special.
Definition at line 145 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ mouseReleaseEvent()
|
protected |
Reimplemented to provide the standard show/raise behavior for the parentWidget() and the context menu.
Feel free to reimplement this if you need something special.
Definition at line 173 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ quitSelected
|
signal |
Emitted when quit is selected in the menu.
If you want to perform any other action than to close the main application window please connect to this signal.
- Since
- 3.1
◆ setActive
|
slot |
Activates the window associated with this system tray icon, regardless of its current state.
- Since
- 3.3
Definition at line 227 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ setCaption()
|
virtual |
Changes the tray's text description (which can be seen e.g.
in the systray configuration dialog). The default value is TDEAboutData::programName().
Definition at line 341 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ setInactive
|
slot |
Hides the window associated with this system tray icon, regardless of its current state.
- Since
- 3.3
Definition at line 232 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ setPixmap()
|
virtual |
Changes the tray's icon.
Definition at line 328 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ showEvent()
|
protected |
Reimplemented for internal reasons.
Definition at line 111 of file ksystemtray.cpp.
◆ toggleActive
|
slot |
Toggles the state of the window associated with this system tray icon (hides it, shows it or activates it depending on the window state).
The default implementation of mousePressEvent() calls toggleActive() when the tray icon is left-clicked, use it when reimplementing mousePressEvent().
