Re: [PyQt] QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage VistaX64
I asked on qt-interest and discovered a windows setting to disable tooltips in the system tray: http://blogs.msdn.com/haikb/archive/2006/06/21/642033.aspx That solved my problem. Not sure it applies to Vista but have a look. cheers, Philippe Ian Jones wrote: > My test boxes are vanilla vista sp1 x64 installs, with all the updates > and just those two applications (python,pyqt) installed.

Re: [PyQt] QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage VistaX64
My test boxes are vanilla vista sp1 x64 installs, with all the updates and just those two applications (python,pyqt) installed. As I originally thought it could be some sort of conflict.

I've got the exact same problem, but on windows XP. Since the same program produces different output on my or on a different computer, I guess it's somehow related to the computer configuration. But I could not find anything related to showing messages in the systray in the control panel. Since we both have the issue, maybe we can identify the source of the problem by checking something common in our configuration ? I am running virtual desktop manager from Microsoft, maybe that's what is causing the problem. Are you running any kind of software that could alter systray behavior ? cheers, Philippe ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
[PyQt] QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage VistaX64
I'm curious if other people have been able to use this feature successfully. Computer specs: Python 2.6.1 (32bit) (python.org) PyQt 2.6-gpl-4.4.4-2.exe (from riverbank website) Running the examples/desktop/systray/systray.pyw that came with pyqt The window opens, icons appear in the system tray, change icon etc but the balloon message never appears. The docs say it is supported on 'All supported versions of Windows' and I am assuming Vista is on that list but I couldn't find the actual list to compare it to. Is it not?
