Show custom tooltip windows on system tray icon

[LIANG ZHOU]

Hi, 

I need to show a custom tooltip window when mouse pointer hovers over the tray icon. 

This is how I implement this functionality.

void MyTaskBarIcon::OnMouseMove(wxTaskBarIconEvent& WXUNUSED(event))

{

    if (!m_bTrackMouse)

    {

        m_bTrackMouse = true;

        wxPoint ptMouse = wxGetMousePosition();

        int dpi = (int)getWinDPIMultiple();

        m_rectIcon.x = ptMouse.x - 25 * dpi;

        m_rectIcon.y = ptMouse.y - 25 * dpi;

        m_rectIcon.width = 50 * dpi;

        m_rectIcon.height = 50 * dpi;

        m_timer.Start(1000);

        m_pMainDlg->ShowToolTipDlg(ptMouse);

    }

}

void MyTaskBarIcon::OnTrackMouse(wxTimerEvent& WXUNUSED(event))

{

    wxPoint ptMouse = wxGetMousePosition();

    if (!m_rectIcon.Contains(ptMouse))

    {

        if (m_bTrackMouse)

        {

            m_bTrackMouse = false;

            m_timer.Stop();

            m_pMainDlg->HideToolTipDlg();

        }

    }

}

But when some new icon is created in the system tray, a wxEVT_TASKBAR_MOVE message would be sent, so my custom tooltip window would be shown unexpectedly. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Thanks!

Hi

I presume you are on Windows?
And using wx-3.1.4?

Thank you.
