SystemTrayIcon context menu doesn't want to hide - properly implemented Tray Icon

Ice_trooper

Has someone got properly implemented System Tray Icon in qml components?
There is a lack of information about it on forums. I almost got it, but I can't hide context Menu for that icon when user clicks away. However, showing menu works. Can you help me?
I tried both QSystemTrayIcon registered as QML component and SystemTrayIcon from Qt.labs.platform. Both don't work.

I will post Labs solution because QSystemTrayIcon is almost the same code in qml:

import QtQuick 2.14
import Qt.labs.platform 1.1
import QtQuick.Window 2.0

Item {
    property var mainAppWindowRef;

    SystemTrayIcon {
        visible: true;
        icon.source: "qrc:/graphics/icon.ico";

        onActivated: {
            if(reason === SystemTrayIcon.Context) {
//                trayMenu.popup();
            }
            else {
                if(applicationWindow.visibility === Window.Hidden ||
                    applicationWindow.visibility === Window.Minimized) {
                    applicationWindow.show();
                }
                else {
                    applicationWindow.hide();
                }
            }
        }

        menu: Menu {
            id: trayMenu;

            MenuItem {
                id: showGridMenuItem;
                text: qsTr("Show grid")
                checkable: true;
                onTriggered: {
                }
            }

            MenuItem {
                id: openWindowMenuItem;
                text: qsTr("Open window")
                onTriggered: {
                    applicationWindow.show()
                }
            }

            MenuSeparator { }

            MenuItem {
                id: exitMenuItem;
                text: qsTr("Exit")
                onTriggered: {
                    systemTray.hide();
                    Qt.quit();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    Connections {
        target: mainAppWindowRef;
        onClosing: {
            console.log("send to system tray...")
            close.accepted = false;
            applicationWindow.hide();
        }
    }
}

I also found a bug in reports looks like my problem: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70039?jql=text ~ "SystemTrayIcon"
However apps like Steam or Spotify (based on Qt) got properly working system tray icon. How did their menu work and mine not?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What version of Qt are you using ?
On what OS ?
Can you provide a complete minimal compilable example that shows that behavior ?

Hi, now I use Qt 5.14.1 MSVC 2017 x64 and I checked that Qt 5.12.0 MSVC 2017 x64 also doesn't work.
It's Windows 10.

No problem, I got project on github you can try to run:
