Making A Icontray Application With Pyqt
« on: May 23, 2005, 04:00:59 pm »
Does any1 have information about how to create an application with PyQt, that after launch, instead of creating an icon in the taskbar will create an icon in the tray area, as one of the different applets opie brings ?

Also, how to create the menu that you can view when clicking on that icon ?

TIA

Short answer: It's not possible to create applets with PyQt

Long answer: Theoretically you could embed the Python interpreter in the launcher and then could cook up an interface for PyQt taskbarapplets, but this requires quite some work and experience with embedding Python into C++ as well as how the launcher works.
