This module enables pyGTK developers on the windows platform to handle native windows messages and take advantage of features such as notification icons and window transparency (Win2000 and above). Requires pywin32 extensions by Mark Hammond.

I wrote this after looking around for answers on how GTK could interface with the native Windows GUI. I found a ctypes implementation and rewrote it to use the excellent pywin32 module instead. The ctypes uses hooking to intercept windows messages, however my implementation uses subclassing.

Updates.

Hey Fadli, world. This is great code!
I have some suggestion so the code is even cleaner

delete:

    def remove(self, *args):
        self._message_map = {}
        self.remove_notify_icon()
        self = None

you have it double.
Also delete
import gobject the main_loop() you do
and use gtk.main()

also delete .realize() cause show_all() is enough
then hook destroy to wnd to gtk.main_quit()
this is a start for cleanup
I'm gonna use this class so if you care about more cleanups tell it here.

Thanks again for the *GREAT* code

You're welcome :). Hi Nikos,

Great to hear that you find it useful and I've noticed you've created a patch for Gajim http://gajim.org. Its rocks! I've always wanted to see a Gaim built on python.

There are many improvements that can be done on the code (the extension) but I can't get down to doing it because of lack of time. Why don't u send me a patch (fadlydottabraniatgmaildotcom) and I'll merge it here. Do include your name.

One on my wish list: Bitorrent Win32 with a Tray Icon ;)

Nikos Kouremenos 18 years, 7 months ago  # | flag

more cleanups.

some constants like GWL_WNDPROC are already in win32con (comes with pywin32) so no need to have them global

moreover, it not clear one can set a custom image
either write a set_icon() or anyways help:


hinst = win32gui.GetModuleHandle(None)
icon_flags = win32con.LR_LOADFROMFILE | win32con.LR_DEFAULTSIZE
hicon = win32gui.LoadImage(hinst, path_to_ico, win32con.IMAGE_ICON, 0, 0, icon_flags)

and then you can gloriously do:
add_notify_icon(self.systray_context_menu, hicon, 'Gajim')

another interesting project is http://sourceforge.net/projects/pysystray

yet another cleanup post. self.remove in _redraw maybe you mean remove() ?

moreover in _get_nid you first have nid a tuple and then you make it a list and then you return it as tuple? why all that?

you have to return tuple but you do not have to make it list with list() I mean you just do nid = [self._hwnd, self._id, ...]

magical workaround. I am using this recipe in Gajim.org and I was having serious problem with my main window because when I tried to move it I was getting a python crash. After a lot of blind testing, I now have:

fake_window = gtk.Window()
fake_window.realize()

and I pass fake_window as window for systray class

my main window is other and everything works ok now..

I would appreciate some comments on this if you knew. Thanks

apply() is deprecated. apply(cb, (hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam)) should be changed to cb(hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam). apply(callback, (hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam)) should be changed to callback(hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam).
