Hi,
I try to close the aplication using the system tray but anything I do, it
doesn't seem to work.
I put the sample app I've made in this message below.
The problem is that when I click on the tray icon, instead of closing the
app, it pops up a perl interpreter error window.
If I use just
$self->Destroy;
in the event handler for that event, the application seems to be closed,
but the system tray icon remains, and the program doesn't really close.
In this case it doesn't give any error window.
If I use
$self->Close;
and in the EVT_CLOSE event handler I also destroy the tray icon, it
appear that error window.
I've searched on the internet for this error and I found a few
discussions, but I haven't seen any solution.
Am I doing something wrong? Or there is no solution of closing a WxPerl
app using Wx::TaskBarIcon?
Ah yes, the good old system tray issues. I've been fighting with that a
few years ago too.
I've been experimenting with that a lot and my best guess is that it
doesn't like the taskbaricon (object) being destroyed in it's own event
handler.
I also thought that, but I don't know how to solve it.
What I've done in my case is just use a Popup menu and exit from there.
Maybe that is a usable solution for you to.
Yes it could be. I've made just a short sample program, but the real program
uses a menu with more options and one of them is Exit.
Another menu item should be used for showing the app and moving the focus to
a certain object, but I can't do that either.
I altered your code to a working sample using a right click popup menu and
attached it below.
I have tried your code, but it gives the same error window after choosing
the "Exit" menu item:
Perl Command Line Interpreter
Perl Command Line Interpreter has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Could it be something wrong with my perl or WxPerl?
I use:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 50 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall
Binary build 820 [274739] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com
and Wx version 0.85
On a curious side note: does your lack of indenting your code have
anything to do with you using a screenreader?
Or is this just a quick dirty hack.
Oh yes, sorry. I prefer to write the code this way because when using a
screen reader without a braille display the indentation creates only
disadvantages.
For example when I hit the "home" key to move the cursor to the beginning of
the line, I don't need to move it back to the start of the text on that line
And I can't see, so I might indent the code badly by mistake, making it
harder to understand even for the sighted.
When I was sighted I use to indent the code always, no matter how small or
big was the program.
Thank you.
Octavian
