I was looking for a simple tutorial on how to make system tray icon in C. Well i found this page and tried the example. Just needed to add <gtk/gtk.h> to the include and it compiled and worked just fine. I am adding it here so
- it's easier for me to find when i actually need it again,
- sites tend to disappear on the net, so this is my backup copy.
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
void tray_icon_on_click(GtkStatusIcon *status_icon,
gpointer user_data)
{
printf("Clicked on tray icon\n");
}
void tray_icon_on_menu(GtkStatusIcon *status_icon, guint button,
guint activate_time, gpointer user_data)
{
printf("Popup menu\n");
}
static GtkStatusIcon *create_tray_icon() {
GtkStatusIcon *tray_icon;
tray_icon = gtk_status_icon_new();
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(tray_icon), "activate",
G_CALLBACK(tray_icon_on_click), NULL);
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(tray_icon),
"popup-menu",
G_CALLBACK(tray_icon_on_menu), NULL);
gtk_status_icon_set_from_icon_name(tray_icon,
GTK_STOCK_MEDIA_STOP);
gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip(tray_icon,
"Example Tray Icon");
gtk_status_icon_set_visible(tray_icon, TRUE);
return tray_icon;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
GtkStatusIcon *tray_icon;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
tray_icon = create_tray_icon();
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
