Taskbar Dropup
-
Is it possible to make a taskbar dropup application with QT? See link for example.
-
Hi and welcome to devnet,
You should check the QtWinExtras module, it might contain what you want. Here you can find an overview of the specific classes.
Hope it helps

@SGaist I need this feature to work on osx and linux as well.
-
Can you show an example on OS X and Linux ?
-
-
That can be done with a QSystemTrayIcon and a custom widget for the popup part
-
@SGaist When I use QSystemTrayIcon it just puts an icon the task bar that opens a qt window. I just need a dropdown.
-
The example you posted on OS X is a tray icon with a customized menu or widget. There's no right click context menu on that bar.
-
@SGaist I don't want to use right click. I just need it when the user clicks on the icon on the taskbar a dropdown list appears.
-
Then again, look at QSystemTrayIcon
-
@SGaist Where would I start.
Note: I'm new to Qt.
-
By reading the documentation I linked to and the examples also available from Qt. The "System Tray Icon" example is a good start.
