Member Function Documentation

[signal] void QPlatformSystemTrayIcon::activated(QPlatformSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason reason)

This signal is emitted when the user activates the system tray icon. reason specifies the reason for activation.

See also QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason.

[pure virtual] void QPlatformSystemTrayIcon::cleanup()

This method is called to cleanup the platform dependent implementation.

[virtual] QPlatformMenu *QPlatformSystemTrayIcon::createMenu() const

This method allows platforms to use a different QPlatformMenu for system tray menus than what would normally be used for e.g. menu bars. The default implementation falls back to a platform menu created by the platform theme, which may be null on platforms without native menus.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.3.

See also updateMenu().

[pure virtual] QRect QPlatformSystemTrayIcon::geometry() const

This method returns the geometry of the platform dependent system tray icon on the screen.

[pure virtual] void QPlatformSystemTrayIcon::init()

This method is called to initialize the platform dependent implementation.

[pure virtual] bool QPlatformSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable() const

Returns true if the system tray is available on the platform.

[signal] void QPlatformSystemTrayIcon::messageClicked()

This signal is emitted when the message displayed using showMessage() was clicked by the user.
