QSystemTrayIcon cannot respond to middle click on win11

auryouth

import sys

from PySide6.QtGui import QIcon
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QSystemTrayIcon


class sysTray(QSystemTrayIcon):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.icon = QIcon("Meta.ico")
        self.setIcon(self.icon)
        self.activated.connect(self.on_tray_activated)
        self.show()

    def on_tray_activated(self, reason):
        print(reason)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    tray = sysTray()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

This is a simple example to create a system tray in windows with PySide6. However, when I middle click the tray, it outputs ActivationReason.Trigger rather than ActivationReason.MiddleClick. Is there something I am missing or is this a problem in windows11?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Might be a silly question but are you sure your middle button is identified as such ?

@SGaist
Yes, I am sure.
The result is as shown in the image below.

@auryouth I meant system wise.

I would add an event filter to check how the mouse buttons are seen there to determine why Trigger is returned rather than MiddleClicked.

I add en eventfilter to sysTray itself:

import sys

from PySide6.QtCore import QEvent, QObject
from PySide6.QtGui import QAction, QIcon
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMenu, QSystemTrayIcon


class sysTray(QSystemTrayIcon):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)

        self.installEventFilter(self)

        self.icon = QIcon("icon/meta_running.ico")
        self.setIcon(self.icon)

        self._toggle_action = QAction("toggle", self)
        self._tray_icon_menu = QMenu()
        self._tray_icon_menu.addAction(self._toggle_action)
        self.setContextMenu(self._tray_icon_menu)

        self.show()

    def eventFilter(self, watched: QObject, event: QEvent) -> bool:
        print(watched, event)
        return super().eventFilter(watched, event)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    tray = sysTray()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

When I click the tray it outputs nothing.
And when I right click and move mouse to the context menu it outputs something.

<__main__.sysTray(0x2a07487c970) at 0x000002A075151380> <PySide6.QtCore.QEvent(QEvent::ChildAdded)>
<__main__.sysTray(0x2a07487c970) at 0x000002A075151380> <PySide6.QtCore.QEvent(QEvent::StatusTip)>

I have tried QWidget and everything is OK in Windows 11. I have also tried QSystemTrayIcon in Arch Linux and it is also OK.

No idea what is wrong with it in Windows 11.

Can you try forcing the style of the application to windowsvista or fusion ?
