QSystemTrayIcon, change behavior
-
Hi,
A tray icon does not necessarily have a contextual menu, it might also just provide some information.
Your situation is not really clear.
What do you want from your system tray icon ?

@SGaist thanks for the quick reply
What do you want from your system tray icon ?
This is the message it shows.
After this message disappears, the icon I set for the tray continues here:
I don't want that.
I can set the visibility to false aftershowMessage()but then, the message won't stay in the notification area.I hope I made the question clear.
-
So you just want the notification but not the icon ?
-
Then you might have to pilfer the backend code of QSystemTrayIcon since you have no use of it beside the notification part.

Where do I find the code?
In the git repo or e.g. here: https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/widgets/util/qsystemtrayicon.cpp.html

@Christian-Ehrlicher thank you
Is there any step by step on how to build it from source, or in which category here in the forum can I post a question? -
Why do you want to compile Qt5 now?

See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/build-sources.html@Christian-Ehrlicher just out of curiosity

@hbatalha said in QSystemTrayIcon, change behavior:
What exactly did you mean by "pilfer the backend "? Should I remove some code?
No, you should get some inspiration from it.

You have to do some more spelunking and go to the backend side of things to get the Windows specific implementation.
