Class TrayIcon

- java.awt.TrayIcon

public class TrayIcon extends Object
ATrayIcon
object represents a tray icon that can be added to thesystem tray
. ATrayIcon
can have a tooltip (text), an image, a popup menu, and a set of listeners associated with it.A
TrayIcon
can generate variousMouseEvents
and supports adding corresponding listeners to receive notification of these events.TrayIcon
processes some of the events by itself. For example, by default, when the right-mouse click is performed on theTrayIcon
it displays the specified popup menu. When the mouse hovers over theTrayIcon
the tooltip is displayed.Note: When the
MouseEvent
is dispatched to its registered listeners itscomponent
property will be set tonull
. (SeeComponentEvent.getComponent()
) Thesource
property will be set to thisTrayIcon
. (SeeEventObject.getSource()
)Note: A well-behaved
TrayIcon
implementation will assign different gestures to showing a popup menu and selecting a tray icon.A
TrayIcon
can generate anActionEvent
. On some platforms, this occurs when the user selects the tray icon using either the mouse or keyboard.If a SecurityManager is installed, the AWTPermission
accessSystemTray
must be granted in order to create aTrayIcon
. Otherwise the constructor will throw a SecurityException.See the
SystemTray
class overview for an example on how to use theTrayIcon
API.- Since:

Method Detail
setImage
public void setImage(Image image)
Sets the image for thisTrayIcon
. The previous tray icon image is discarded without calling theImage.flush()
method — you will need to call it manually.If the image represents an animated image, it will be animated automatically.
See the
setImageAutoSize(boolean)
property for details on the size of the displayed image.Calling this method with the same image that is currently being used has no effect.
- Parameters:
-
image
- the non-nullImage
to be used - Throws:
-
NullPointerException
- ifimage
isnull

setPopupMenu
public void setPopupMenu(PopupMenu popup)
Sets the popup menu for thisTrayIcon
. Ifpopup
isnull
, no popup menu will be associated with thisTrayIcon
.Note that this
popup
must not be added to any parent before or after it is set on the tray icon. If you add it to some parent, thepopup
may be removed from that parent.The
popup
can be set on oneTrayIcon
only. Setting the same popup on multipleTrayIcon
s will cause anIllegalArgumentException
.Note: Some platforms may not support showing the user-specified popup menu component when the user right-clicks the tray icon. In this situation, either no menu will be displayed or, on some systems, a native version of the menu may be displayed.
- Parameters:
-
popup
- aPopupMenu
ornull
