taskbar icon screen position

[Radek]

Hi,

I am using wx.TaskBarIcon on Windows and need to get the screen
position of the icon in systray in order to create the frame near it.
I was hoping to get it like this (in MyTaskBarIcon class):

self.Bind(wx.EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP, self.OnTaskBarShow)
def OnTaskBarShow(self, evt):
screenpos = evt.GetPosition()
print screenpos

But it throws an error.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Radek

This is currently not implemented, i.e. there is no position in
wxTaskBarIconEvent. It could be added relatively easily for Windows, I
think, but I don't know how to do it for the other platforms -- if anybody
does, please let us know (or consider contributing patches for it, of
course).

Finally I used wx.GetMouseState in order to get the mouse position. It
is not that precise, but close enough.

What would be approach for Windows?
